Default Displaying Installed Software and Licenses

Hi

This is my first time using VB and have been given an assignment to create a piece of software to display all the installed software applications installed on my PC and all of the licenses. I believe i can do this by accessing the registry???? Is this easy to do??

I'm not asking for any one to do this for me but any help or guidence would be much appreciated.

Support for registry access in VB\VBA is pretty limited (deletesetting\savesetting!). You could always roll your own (search for reg under the declares in Win32 API viewer - looks pretty comprehensive) or try http://sevillaonline.com/ActiveX/ARRegistry.htm. Looks like he's done a pretty good job.
