List of Programes installed

Hi,

Is there any class in .NET which gives the list and
properties (Publishers, Folder, version) of the programs
installed on the machine.

Thanks in advance,

There is nothing in the .NET Framework V1.0 or V1.1 to provide this
information.

This information may be available in Win32, the Registry or some other
store. It might be worth asking questions or searching KBs or looking for
samples on this. If it is somewhere, you may be able to use PInvokes or the
Microsoft.Win32.Registry APIs to find it.

In a word, No.

You will need to use the registry classes to browse through the registry and
find out that way. It's not a trivial task.
Take a look at the Microsoft.Win32.Registry class, and the various articles
in MSDN about working with the registry.
