I develop a short python script to display Microsft Corporation software that is installed on a system. This script can be modifed easily to check for all installed OS hotfixes if need be. See below for the script: <---code----- import _winreg import sys hkcu = _winreg . ConnectRegistry ( None , _winreg . HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ) m_key = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" m_UnInstall = _winreg . OpenKey ( hkcu , r"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" ) _index = 0 while True : try : m_subkey = _winreg . EnumKey ( m_UnInstall , _index ) m_newkey = m_key + "\\" + m_subkey m_RegistryKey = _winreg . OpenKey ( hkcu , m_newkey ) try : if _winreg . QueryValueEx ( m_RegistryKey , r"Publisher" )[ 0 ] == r"Microsoft Corporation" : print _winreg . QueryValueEx ( m_RegistryKey , r"DisplayNam
