Retrieve software installed and versions(?)
Hi - I was curious how possible this would be?
I'd love to be able to retrieve information on 'all' software installed on my servers, along with associated versions, if possible via a vbscript/wmi?
Any suggestions?

I can give u an existing software which is completely FREE & will produce a report in HTML format. See Belarc Advisor. A very useful one! Try it out.

Sorry gang - I can't use any 3rd party tools. We're very restrictive on implementing those sorts of tools. I'm very familiar with Belarc already.
rockiroads - not a bad suggestion - perhaps doable, but I'm not certain how I would scan through each value under Uninstall. If you could get me started, I'd be grateful.
Also, I thought there was a related wmi class that held at least, some of this info...?
Thanx!

Thanx for the classes cookre.
Unfortunately, I tried the code MilanKM posted and both came up 'null'.
I do have scriptomatic on a test server that I'll try again with.
I'd also be curious how you would go about looping through that uninstall key. Maybe I could get it working from your vb sample...

Odd that I don't seem to find Win32_Product on this server. Is it under a different namespace than cimv2?
I did find Win32_ClientApplicationSet
And Win32_ComputerSystemProduc

Looks like Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms

Well, I found 'more' than I bargained for there. : \
I may come back to this and just filter out what I 'want', but for now - I'm satisfied with the quick peek I got. :^)
Thanx for your help. I gave cookre the accept since that helped push me towards searching for the correct class.

it's free. it also has a section where you can create a file that gets run as part of a logon script, so that when the computer logs on, steel inventory takes an audit of the computer and you can view all of the reports in one screen
