Scripting : List all installed software with last used day

List all installed software with last used day

Hi,

I'm planning a migration to Vista for my company. But to avoid unnecessary license cost i'd like to make a vb-script that lists all installed software for the current machine. I'd also like to know the date the user last used the software.

Anyone any idea how to do this? I found this but that doesn't report correct.



 <job id="FindSoftware">

  <script language="VBScript">

 On Error Resume Next

 Dim X

 set X = createobject("WSCRIPT.Network")

 dim U

 U=x.UserName

  

 strComputer = "."

 Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

 'Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

 

 Set colFeatures = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

  ("SELECT * FROM Win32_SoftwareFeature")

  

 Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

 Set file = fso.CreateTextFile("MYSERVERshare" & U & ".txt",2)

 For each objFeature in colFeatures 

  file.writeline "Product Name: " & objFeature.Name & ";"

  file.writeline "Caption: " & objFeature.Caption & ";"

  file.writeline "Description: " & objFeature.Description & ";"

  file.writeline "Vendor: " & objFeature.Vendor & ";" 

  file.writeline "Last Use: " & objFeature.LastUse & ";"

  file.writeline ""

  

  

 Next

 set file =nothing

 set fso=nothing

 wscript.echo "finished"

 

  </script>

 </job>

Regards

Joeri.

As ever, a simple Google search will have found examples. Admittedly some are better than others. One I have used in anger in the past is available at http://www.jsware.net. Check out EnumSoft.vbs and MSIList.vbs

Can I refer you to post #10 in this thread http://itninja.com/question/faulttree-10449 the content of which still applies here? If you're too lazy to learn to script, or are somehow congenitally unable to use a search engine, then you need to find someone to do it for you in return for payment. Please stop asking here.
