What I am trying to do is get info from a remote machine about the version of Winzip on it and wether or not its a trial version. Script above should give me version. Still not sure how to get wether trial or registered version. Any input on that would be nice. Side note, Win32_product is not returning any info, id rather use the code below if it was accurate.

Have you tried

strKeyPath = "Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip"
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
If IsArray(arrSubKeys) Then
    For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
         StdOut.WriteLine subkey
    Next
End If

You would need to know how Winzip identifies a trial version. Is it a tregistry entry? A file? A change in a binary?

The below script works with no errors...but gives no info...which means there is no array...just gives the complete echo at the end. If I take the "WinIni" off the end...then I get the keys that are in "Winzip". What I want is to inumerate the values that are in key "WinIni". I am guessing that since the values are not actually keys, then this script is not waht I want

As for determining Trial Vs Registered, if registered, there will be two more values in the key "WinIni"...one containing a Name, and one containing a serial number.

oReg.EnumKey would enumerate the keys. You want to enumerate the values in the key. Do a little searching and you should find examples.
