I extracted this from Firestorms compinfo tool. Wanted to make a stand alone add/remove programs for both local and remote machines. For some reason when reading remote machines it is not populating the entire list. Getting maybe 1/3 of the programs from the registry.

You can view my reply to Firestorms app here

Edit: If you run the tool and put your own machine name in the field it will give different results even though its supposidly reading the same keys on the same machine. TIA

For some reason when reading remote machines it is not populating the entire list. Getting maybe 1/3 of the programs from the registry.

This is basically the same script as this other post by big_daddy. Any way the answer to you question, for the remote machines the script will only show you all the applications that can be silently uninstall. Otherwise you will have to physically walk to the remote computer to answer the unistall windows messages.

Ok that answers that question but is there anyway to have it list all keys depending on if the checkbox is checked? If the checkbox is not checked it would list all keys. Should you click on the checkbox then the list would modify to only show ones that can be silently uninstalled. I seem to get the same results regardless if the checkbox is checked when checking my own machine.

Edit: Ok I think I have it. It seems to display the list correctly now on remote machines when reading the checkbox. I haven't tested uninstalling anything just yet though. Added this.

ElseIf ($s_RemoteComputer <> '' And GUICtrlRead($chkbox) == $GUI_CHECKED) Then
                $avArray[UBound($avArray) - 1] = $line & '|' & $skey & '|' & $Icon & '|' & $SilentUnistall & '|' & $Unistall

Now if I could only make it change the list when the button is clicked so as not to have to do a Refresh on the list all over again. :P Unless make it list all apps but only make the ones that can be silently uninstallable enabled. The others would be disabled but still listable. Need to have it list all installed apps on remote machines not just ones that be silently uninstalled.

Change the following line:

Case $MSG = $but1

for this one

Case $MSG = $but1 Or $MSG = $chkbox

also I will change the checkbox text Enable\Disable Silent Uninstall for Show Only Silent Unistall

Sorry replying so late but yes this does seem to work well. The only down side I see in this app now (and I know its the way its written) is how long it takes to read the keys from a remote machine. The only other way I can think of expediting this process is to use TCP calls where you would shoot over a small tcp app that would read the keys locally and shoot them over instead of re-regreading the keys over and over until it finishes.

What are your thoughts on this?
