HI,
generally we can see the list of programs installed on our machine from Add
or Remove programs.
I need to write a VB code to read the Programs listed there.
I have to use a windows API Call in Visual Basic 6.0 to read this list from
Add or Remove Programs.
can any one please help me

This URL has a VBScript for reading it http://billsway.com/vbspage/ about half way down.

Hi MikeR,
Thanks for your information given. I opened the Registry location to see
the list of programs installed. I could see only few are listed in the
"Add/Remove Programs-> Change or Remove Programs" compared to the list of
programs in the registry.
may i know the reason why only few are listed there. Actually what i want is
to read the list of programs that are listed in "Add/Remove Program->Change
or Remove Programs".
Thanks for your response.

The only thing that comes to mind immediately is that some of the entries in the
registry are for updates, which by default are not shown in Add/Remove programs.
There is a check box on that dialog to show the updates.
Is there any thing in the VBScript to allow retrieval of different kinds of entries?
If that's not it, I have no more information. There's probably something in MSDN
about it.
