Possible to return a list of installed software titles through VB?

[Pieter Linden]

Is it possible/does anyone know where there's a code snippet that will
allow me to read the contents of HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE or
something like that so I can get a complete list of installed
applications?

Even better, can I use it to grab the list of installed applications
on a remote machine on my network? (I do have domain admin rights, so
I would have permission to read it...) I know what you're going to
say... "Uhh... yeah, it's called Systems Management Server..." right?

Pete.. you could scan the
HLM\SOFTWARE\Mi crosoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \Uninstall

If it's listed there, it's installed (properly anyway unless the user wipe
it out). I am on travel this week but send me an e-mail if you want a sample
code
