Report Software

Is there a way to run a report within Microsoft XP that lists all software installed?

I wish to be able to download the report to an excel spreadsheet and then complete the same exercise on another pc to determine the software variables. Any ideas?

There is. It's not pretty, and you might be better of writting a script.

Using Regedit.exe, go to this location (or programmatically go to this location):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

Here, you will find a node for each uninstallable product. All you need to do is iterate through these nodes. Or, you could export this node and then parse the resulting file - it's up to you.

Thanks to Y!A truncation, you can't find the right key. Here it is, I broke it out over different lines:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Uninstall
