in reply to How to obtain a list of software applications installed on a Win based PC?
It very much depends upon what you class as an "installed application"?
If your definition would be based upon that list of applications that you could uninstall using the Control_Panal->Add/remove Programs panel, then you can obtain that list from the registry under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Then simply enumerate all the entries and fetch the "DisplayName" value from each one.
Beyond that, anything installed that doesn't register itself with the MS mechanisms is not easily quantified or detected.
