How determine installed Software

[Iceman2005]

Hi guys... i need to program in the Mac a program to determine IF a specific software is installed on the mac. How do i do that?

Example, let say someone installed an application called Microsoft Word 6.0 (just for example) on the mac, how do i write a program that list to me if that program is installed?

Or more generically, how do i determine which softwares are installed on the mac?

thanks,
iceman

Try NetOctopus - does it centrally across your org...

if you have Apple Remote Desktop. It does an application search.

Or if you are at the computer, you cant go to About this Mac, click the More Info, then click Applications. Everything is listed.
