If you have ever needed to re-install your operating system for any reason and needed it re-installed with all the applications you previously had installed, you might find this program useful. This program will print off a list of your installed applications so you can keep a reference on paper ready to tick off when you re-install.
Note: This software looks at the windows registry to reference installed programs, and therefore may miss software that does not install itself so it can been seen under “Add/Remove Programs”.
Problems: If you are missing either of these “advapi32.dll / VB6 Runtime” files the program may experience problems. [SJL1]
Installed Program Printer has been designed to be as simple as possible and easy to use. Below are very basic instructions on how to use the main interface and command line instructions.
The main screen (left) shows the list of installed programs. This window can be resized vertically to display longer names. The three function buttons (Print, Save and Email) are explained below.
Click on the “About” button for information about the software or click on “Exit” to close the program.
The “Print” button will prompt you to select a printer to print the list to; the list is very basic and only uses black text, so there is no need to use special ink or paper.
The print out includes a list of tick boxes down the left hand side so that they can be ticked when you begin to re-install the programs.
The “Save” button will prompt for a file name and location to save the file. The file is saved in basic text format with some extra information including the date, computer name and the current user name.
The list can be opened using almost any text reader but notepad, which comes with Microsoft Windows, will work fine. The file extension is not important but if left blank will be saved with a “.txt”.
After any authentication required the e-mail compose box will appear with the cursor waiting for an e-mail address in the “To” box. The e-mail will already have a sample subject line and body. The list of installed programs is attached as a text file.
From version 1.5.0 command line parameters can now be used to automatically send e-mail or save to file of your choice. This allows a shortcut to the program to be placed in the “Start Up” group and executed each time a users logs on or using more advanced network administration techniques can be run remotely on the network. It is possible to use one or all of the parameters listed below.
/filename
The filename command line parameter allows a pre-set path to be used to save the file to any location. The program searches for the next space in the command line so any file names used must use the old 8.3 style formatting as shown below. IPP has not been tested with UNC pathnames but may work.
Examples:
This will save the list to C:\My Documents\ipplist.txt
This will save the list to F:\data\installedprograms\ipplist.txt
/emailaddress
The emailaddress command line parameter pre-sets the e-mail address used when sending an e-mail of the installed list, this makes it easier to install shortcut icons on to users desktops for the purpose of running when required.
Example:
This will compose e-mail to [email protected] ready to be edited and sent
/hidesend
The hidesend command line parameter hides the e-mail box that uses would normally see when composing e-mail, it prevents the editing of the e-mail before it is sent. It does not bypass any MAPI e-mail system logon requirements. The hidesend [SJL2]parameter requires the emailaddress parameter to be used at the same time.
Example:
This will send e-mail to [email protected] without displaying the compose box. The e-mail will appear in the outbox after completing any MAPI authentication required.
