The installed programs optional component determines whether the software installed on a Windows machine should be documented by the Windows machine agent.


NOTE: Software installed on a per-user basis will not be detected by the Windows machine agent.


NOTE: The display name of the installed program may differ slightly depending on whether the Windows machine agent collected the information using WMI or PowerShell remoting. This is because the agent is able to resolve the localized names of the installed software when using PowerShell remoting.


NOTE: The install date of the installed program will always be available when scanned using PowerShell remoting, however may not always be available when using WMI. This is because the agent is able to determine the install date for applications that don't register an "InstallDate" property when using PowerShell remoting.
