Does anyone know how to enumerate the add/remove programs list (in the control panel)

Any source would be great, any suggestions on functions or calls that would allow access would be fine too.

Need help, building an admin tool.

Thanks
 
I am kind of a newbie, can somebody please help me and answer this...??
 
One way would be to read the contents of RegistryKey:
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"

For the keys where you have a GUID like {00030409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7} you should read the subkey value DisplayName

HTH,
I am sure that there is some ShellApi that is doing this for you.
