Sorry but i meant with "ALL Software packages" "ALL MSI Packages". I want a
return of All MSI Packages that where installed on the target system. (under
any user account), not only all MSI packages of ALL Users and the current
user but also all the packages that where installed under another
useraccount (who selected the option "Just Me" instead of "All Users").
These packages will not be returned by Win32_Product.

Thanks
