I'm trying to get information about the programs installed on remote devices. At the moment, I found a way to output all installed programs. Is there a way to get the version and date of installation?
List<string> programs = new List<string>();
ConnectionOptions connectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions();
connectionOptions.Username = "USERNAME";
connectionOptions.Password = "USERPASS";
//connectionOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
string devicename = textBox8.Text;
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\" + devicename + "\\root\\CIMV2", connectionOptions);
scope.Connect();
string softwareRegLoc = @"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
ManagementClass registry = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("StdRegProv"), null);
ManagementBaseObject inParams = registry.GetMethodParameters("EnumKey");
inParams["hDefKey"] = 0x80000002;//HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
inParams["sSubKeyName"] = softwareRegLoc;
// Read Registry Key Names
ManagementBaseObject outParams = registry.InvokeMethod("EnumKey", inParams, null);
string[] programGuids = outParams["sNames"] as string[];
foreach (string subKeyName in programGuids)
{
inParams = registry.GetMethodParameters("GetStringValue");
inParams["hDefKey"] = 0x80000002;//HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
inParams["sSubKeyName"] = softwareRegLoc + @"\" + subKeyName;
inParams["sValueName"] = "DisplayName";
// Read Registry Value
outParams = registry.InvokeMethod("GetStringValue", inParams, null);
if (outParams.Properties["sValue"].Value != null)
{
string softwareName = outParams.Properties["sValue"].Value.ToString();
programs.Add(softwareName);
}
}
foreach (string softwareName in programs)
{
int n = dataGridView8.Rows.Add();
dataGridView8.Rows[n].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
dataGridView8.Rows[n].Cells[0].Value = devicename;
dataGridView8.Rows[n].Cells[1].Value = softwareName;
dataGridView8.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = dataGridView8.RowCount - 1;
}
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Something went wrong");
}
}
Welcome to Stack Overflow. Use ORMi library to get that information easily:
1) Install via NuGet:
Install-Package ORMi
2) Use the library:
using ORMi;
3) Instanciate and use:
WMIHelper helper = new WMIHelper("root\CimV2");
var programs = helper.Query("SELECT Name, Version, InstallDate FROM Win32_Product").ToList();
foreach(var p in programs)
{
Console.WriteLine(p.Name);
}
And that´s it. Then if you want to do some more advanced working you can define your model classes and query in a simpler way. You can read the docs on GitHub.
