I知 using Windows XP and 2000 with Office 2003.

I知 taking over Software CM control and need to do a software audit of all our computers and spare disk drives. I would like to know what information exists in the registry and how I can list that information. Is it possible to extract what applications are installed, when it was installed, the version and any associated product/license key that may exist? I知 relatively new to VBA, but have built several Excel macros. I would like to extract this information and store it into a spreadsheet for each system audited. Any information and assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

There are specialized SW Audit products that can be purchased and deployed to do that, probably much better than a home-grown VBA based solution

Unfortunately to acquire software tools is a laborious process and would literally take a month or two to acquire. I need something much sooner.
