Hi,
I'm developing a client/server application to monitor installed applications over the network and to uninstall any unauthorized software, illegal copies by users or application no longer in use. The server program will be written in VB6 and use in WinXP SP2, while the viewer side will be install in both WinXP SP2 and Win 2003 Server Standard Edition.
1: I've been searching for 2 days for getting the installed software in WinXp but no result. Should I just simply get it from the registry for the installed software? or is there other easier method to do it?
2: Also, how can I uninstall the illegal or unauthorized software using VB6? I'll be using winsock to send the command over the specify PC to uninstall it.
3: Its it possible to have the server program (install in users' PC) to report error or fault back to my client program (on my PC)? Currently, I'm only have it to monitoring the network connection, means if I can see the network PC name, means its connected and fine. However I wants more detail information with error and fault from PC (provided it can boot to WinXP.
Please help me, I'm doing this for a school for free. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Best regard,
Steven
