How to easily obtain a list of installed programs.
upon searching the net I came across a veritable treasure trove of scripts and utilities all in VBS form.
including a little vbs script that allows you to produce a CSV of all your installed applications.
They are all Vbscript tools by Bill James, who not surprisingly is a Microsoft MVP.
the Page is HERE its well worth a look.
some of the other utilities available are:
* Ansi Character Code Generator
* Create Folder Context Menu Item
* Extract Files from Windows Setup CABs
* Hex to Decimal Converter
* Random Password Generator
* Registry Search Tool
and heaps more, while most of them are things that with time you could do manually or purchase a product to do,
these are all here and readily accessable and very much time saving.

This one's great (no install required, opensource freeware) and can save installed program list with all relevant details (publisher, version, etc) into HTML/CSV/RTF formats:

Would you happen to know if this can be run in a "silent mode"? What I'm looking for is a way to get rid of the initial window of the script to appear as well as the "scan has finished, would you like to view the results now? (Yes/No)" window. It would be great if I could just double-click on the script and after a few seconds the .txt file pops out. This way I can deploy the script to run as an AI package but as it is now, the user has to press "OK" initially, and "Yes/No" when the scan is finished.
