I have Belarc Adviser and it works great. This was just some little quick and dirty thing that has now sprouted in my head to create, so I am doing so.
I was helping someone over the phone prepare to reload their Windows 7 install, and wanted to generate that list of programs prior to nuking their system, and in the process, ran the WMIC command to generate the list on my machine, and found it faulty - not listing Sonar and a few other programs.
That's what started this - the why Sonar didn't show up on that list.
Not a big deal - it just struck me as odd not to see Sonar returned from that query - I now know why, and am past that and cheerfully am writing the utility.
