How to programmatically read registry for instance and version of 3 apps...
Posted by Phillip on September 26th, 2005



I need a way for a user to run a program that will check the user's local pc
for installation and version of 3 applications:

1. Outlook (all versions)
2. Goldmine (all versions)
3. ACT! (all versions)

I would also need a way to determine the last launch date for each app.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Phillip

Try the following:

Visit http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and download the free
Belarc Advisor. After running the program, look under the section
titled "Software Licenses".
