Does anyone know how I would use VBScript to determine what
applications are installed on a system? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Here's some code I put together to do something similar. I have a
page where the user can click a link (which has an id="startapp") and
launch a local application. This may be different than what you're
after since I'm looking for a specific app and not polling all installed
apps.

Sub startapp_OnClick
Dim strAppPath, strTestPath
Dim MyObj
Dim fso, drives, drive

strTestPath = ":\PROGRA~1\AppName\AppName.exe"
Set fso =
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set drives = fso.Drives

For Each drive In drives
If Drive.DriveLetter <> "A" Then
If
fso.FileExists(Drive.DriveLetter&strTestPath) Then
strAppPath = Drive.DriveLetter&strTestPath
End If
Next

Set MyObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

If strAppPath <> "" Then
MyObj.Run strAppPath
Else
MsgBox "Application could not be found on
your system"
End If

Set MyObj = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

Hope this helps.
