Create a list of installed applications in Vista

[Erskine]

To generate such a list of installed applications, we will use the WMI Console. WMI is a protocol that allows you to administer and monitor Windows by using simple commands.

• Open the command prompt (in Vista, open it as administrator by right click).
  
  
• At the prompt, type the WMIC and confirm by [Enter]
  
  
• After a few seconds, a new prompt "wmic: root \ cli>" will appear
  
  
• Enter the command: / output: C: \ ListeApps.htm get product name, version
  
  
• Validate by [Enter]
  
  
• The command then generates the root of drive C: HTM file containing a list of all installed applications.
  
  
• If you want simple
  
  
• And by press [Enter]
  
  
• EXIT and press Enter by [Enter] to exit the console WMI.
