I had a request from one our user groups asking if we had a tool or method where they could get a list of the applications installed on their desktops with the information placed into Excel so they could mail it.

Here is a script that I put together witht he help of some other members of the board as mentioned below.

It will retrieve a list of most applications in the HKLMSMWCVAppPath key. With the Path, Description, and BinFileVersion and place it into an array. Then this data is written into a MS Excel worksheet, then it is attached to a new Outlook email message.

This script would probably work in other environments with little to no changes, but if you do want to try it make sure you review the code for any specifics of your environment.
