Get Installed applications

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

We are trying to create a custom report that displays the installed applications. We want the same data that appears in the table under the chart if you create chart on the “Installed Applications - Win” property under Explore computers.

We have tried figuring out the relevance with no luck. Is there any chance we could get some insight about how it is done by the built in explore computers reports?

Thanks!

I don’t have access to the source code. The code probably won’t be easy to extract.

I whipped up this report for you.

In case you use this report -

I have updated the report because there are 2 properties with the same name “Installed Applications (Windows)”, so I need to be more specific to use the one from the BES Inventory and License site.

There is also an updated version that has filters posted here:
