Hi

Is there a way of generating a list of all the installed programs on a XP
computer? i.e All the programs in "change or remove programs" area.

Thanks

Get Belarc Advisor (www.belarc.com) and have a complete inventory of all software installed, with
key codes, and all hardware installed with serial number and manufacturer.
 
Dear Damien,

Yes I have a program called NetAppList...... Problem is; its not quite ready
yet!!! :-( Anyway it would cost you a tiny amount of $.
Download a program called Psinfo from Microsoft. Its a Sysinternals free
utility.
Does exactly what you want but is prone to some inconsistencies. (Unlike
mine :-). Which is nor ready :-(
Hope that helps,

Maybe you should have checked out Belarc Advisor before undertaking
your task.
 
Dear Uncle Grumpy,

Well mine will be pretty cheap but high quality. Its already written too.
[ Just waiting for me to get into full fire proof suit and run InstallShield
11 and do battle with it ;-) The most buggy installer this side of the local
group galaxies. I burst out laughing thinking how buggy InstallShield "13"
would be when its released. But its going to be IS 2008. So - superstition
avoided! yay!] ;-)

Seriously, I was running Psinfo from sysinternals and getting all sorts of
not quite rights! Very unusual - as I have *great respect* for the
Sysinternals team.

So, I wrote my own in pure C to the Win32 API and remote registry access
yada yada... I was able to improve on Psinfo and wrap a GUI around it too. I
guess Belarc Advisor is way cool too - that's fine.

I write code all day. I love to help people for free too. Very satisfying to
get those thanks replies - I'm sure you agree.

Have a great day,

Kind regards,

hWnd = CreateWindow(szWindowClass, szTitle, WS_OVERLAPPED, CW_USEDEFAULT,
0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
