That's a more general windows / Win32_Product question. If I remember
correctly, Win32_Product only lists products installed in a certain
way (probably via .MSI). Win32_SoftwareElement or associated
classes [1] may give you something. After that, you're just down to
scraping the registry, I think. I'm afraid this isn't really my
area of expertise. (He says, as though he *has* an area of
expertise :)
