Question : Get List of Currently Installed Applications in VB .NET
In the code snippet, you can see that I am getting a list of installed applications in the registry and then displaying them in a ListView.
Originally, I tried using the "Software\Microsoft\Window
s\CurrentV
ersion\Uni
nstall" LocalMachine key, but then decided that "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Window
s\CurrentV
ersion\Ins
taller\Use
rData\S-1-
5-18\Produ
cts" was much better and had more relevant applications.
However, I'm still stumped. Neither of those keys grab all of the applications installed on a User's computer. It seems to be mostly Microsoft Products.
Is there a better way of obtaining the applications, or a better registry key?
Thanks

Oh, yeah, Process Monitor, not RegMon!!
Process Monitor does have the ability to monitor registry events. You just have to toggle off all the event buttons, except for the Show Registry button.
