Hi

Here is a VBScript that enumerates the keys under the Uninstall key in registry
and shows the result in notepad:


Const OpenAsASCII = 0 ' Opens the file as ASCII (TristateFalse)
Const OpenAsUnicode = -1 ' Opens the file as Unicode (TristateTrue)
Const OpenAsDefault = -2 ' Opens the file using the system default

Const OverwriteIfExist = -1
Const FailIfNotExist = 0
Const ForReading = 1

sComputer = "." ' use . for local computer

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sTmpFile = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") & "\" & oFSO.GetTempName

Set fTmpFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(sTmpFile, _
OverwriteIfExist, OpenAsASCII)

fTmpFile.Write InstalledApplications(sComputer)
fTmpFile.Close
oShell.Run "notepad.exe " & sTmpFile, 1, True
oFSO.DeleteFile sTmpFile


Function InstalledApplications(node)
Const HKLM = &H80000002 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Set oRegistry = _
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonat e}!\\" _
& node & "/root/default:StdRegProv")
sBaseKey = _
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninsta ll\"
iRC = oRegistry.EnumKey(HKLM, sBaseKey, arSubKeys)
For Each sKey In arSubKeys
iRC = oRegistry.GetStringValue( _
HKLM, sBaseKey & sKey, "DisplayName", sValue)
If iRC <> 0 Then
oRegistry.GetStringValue _
HKLM, sBaseKey & sKey, "QuietDisplayName", sValue
End If
If sValue <> "" Then
InstalledApplications = _
InstalledApplications & sValue & vbCrLf
End If
Next
End Function

Well, we're all entitled to our opinions. I like Belarc for this sort of
thing, as the information the user wants will be right there on the list the
program generates. With Aida32, the user has to locate it in the multitude
of system information the program provides.

Basically, you can't get a 100% list. Depends what you mean by
installed - take the Mozilla Firebird install as an example - a simple
"unzip" and its installed. The best way is to be strict with your
programs and store everything in a single directory structure, but
even then a lot of "installers" will insist on throwing dll's and the
like all over your system / not let you change install location / etc,
etc...
