Is there a tool to collect a list of all installed programs?

Actually it was not correct for me to say that those are all uninstallers. Currently I find that Soft Organizer does the best job but I might use Geek or similar if the program isn't listed in the list of programs that used Windows Installer when they were installed.

I will always perform a manual file and registry search in any case.

I understand that the OP doesn't want a 3rd party but I don't know of any way to do what the OP wants without a 3rd party program.

I've been trying a few command lines and powershell scripts but none of them list everything!

Problem I see is the op didn't want to have to install anything

Yes you're correct of course. The OP has contradicted the question contained in the first post when posting the following:

Thank you. I was hoping to have some tool already available in Windows because to use what you suggested I will have to explain to the person how to download and install it first.

It's still interesting to see what is listed by various methods. :)

No doubt you're a mad scientist
