I have a function that can retrieve the list of installed software on a
windows machine
by looking in the registry at
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

I want to also retrieve name and version of software (station without wmi
installed, and also must work on win98)

Someone have a clue?

Some software will store its version in different places, some won't store it at
all. Depending on which software, you may want to create an OLE (sorry, ActiveX)
object, or trace the executable and get a file version number with FSO or
similar.
