Linux Apps that can detect software installed on Windows XP Workstation
 

Hi,

Is there any app that can detect, list and save to mysql database on any application that are running on a windows xp workstation over a network?

Thanks in advance.

Just to make sure we are clear here...

You are looking for a Linux application that can somehow detect every application installed on a completely different OS simply by scanning it? Then (naturally) save it all to a MySQL DB?

I just want to make sure I haven't read this wrong.

Yes sir..
 

IS there any application for that?

EDIT:

I think somehow i have seen it during windows days where a windows server can scan PC on network for applications installed. But due to license issue, looking for an alternative

Your needs are not very clear, nor the scope of what you are looking for. A simple bash script can do that
This one is if you want to run it from a live-cd. If you want to scan the network, then use nmap in a script. We don't know what you want to do, so we can't really help you.

The application i want is something that will collect information on a windows xp workstation on programs that are installed. something like a small program that is installed on a workstation and report to the server what programs are installed so that we cam verify what illegal programs that are being used..
