Bobby is right and your approach is nice as well. And if I need to check multiple programs, I may try the following: regedit -e installedprograms.log HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall then try to find them in the extracted/exported file. This approach might be a bit messy if the computer has lots of programs installed already.
