The SUA (Software Usage Analysis) product comes with all of this content along with an extensive catalog of signatures, historical reporting and much more pre-built content. It will look for signatures of in several places including registered applications, registry keys, a full HD scan for exe’s, etc. Here is more info on SUA:

Now having said that you can create the queries on your own. Here are some examples:

Here is an example to get all installed applications:

Here is an example to get the version from a single registered app/exe:

q: (if (exists regapp “BESClient.exe”) then (version of regapp “Besclient.exe” as string) else “BESClient.exe not installed”)

A: 8.2.1312.0

You may also have to pull it out of the registry in some cases:

q: (if (exists key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient” whose (exists value “version” of it) of registry) then (value “version” of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BigFix\EnterpriseClient” of registry as string) else “Not Installed”)

A: 8.2.1312.0

T: 0.134 ms

I: singular string
