key which lists what software is installed on a machine?

Here's the registry key that populates the Control Panel listing

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall


Here's a WMI script that write out to text file.

From the Script Center, a program to list software in the registry:

and another that uses the Win32_Product class of WMI:

In both cases, assigning "." to the variable strComputer makes the program
query the local computer. You can assign the NetBIOS name of a remote
computer instead, if you have permissions.
