Description

This batch file will query the registry of a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system and list the apps it finds there. This list might not be comprehensive, but should be the same list that appears in the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

Requirements

In its present form, the script expects to find the REGDMP.EXE , and PERL.EXE programs in C:\bin . If it does not find them, it automatically mounts a shared directory as the I: drive. These lines can easily be disabled by commenting them out.

REGDMP.EXE can be obtained from the Microsoft web site by downloading the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit. (This link active as of 8/26/03.)

PERL.EXE , and the required shared library, PERL100.DLL , are available from the following links.

Download

• listapps.cmd
• perl.exe
• perl100.dll

Usage

Simply drop all the files into C:\bin , or edit the script to name a different location, and put them all there. Ensure that the directory is in your path, or that you issue the command from within the directory where the files are located.

To run, simply open a command prompt and type:
listapps

To save the results to a file, do this:
listapps > somefile.txt
I use this method across a ssh connection.

enjoy!
