am working on creating a python script to find Installed programs in Uninstall folder in registry, the script works perfectly fine on 32 bit machines but errors out with a wmi error on 64 bit machines. Am not able to get hold of a wmi module for python on 64 bit machines.Is there one at all? Please ignore indentation errors. I found this script in some forum, apologies for not giving due credit to the corresponding author
r = wmi.Registry()
result, names = r.EnumKey (hDefKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sSubKeyName=r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall")
separator = "*" * 80
keyPath = r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
for subkey in names:
try:
path = keyPath + "\\" + subkey
key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, path, 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS)
try:
temp = QueryValueEx(key, 'DisplayName')
temp1 = QueryValueEx(key, 'DisplayVersion')
temp2 = QueryValueEx(key, 'Publisher')
display = str(temp[0])
display_ver=str(temp1[0])
display_p=str(temp2[0])
print ('Display Name: ' + display + '\nDisplay version: ' + display_ver + '\nVendor/Publisher: ' + display_p +'\nRegkey: ' + subkey + '\n')
except:
print ('Regkey: ' + subkey + '\n')
except:
fp = StringIO.StringIO()
traceback.print_exc(file=fp)
errorMessage = fp.getvalue()
#error = 'Error for ' + key + '. Message follows:\n' + errorMessage
#HelperFuncs.LogError(error)
