I need to get a text file listing of all the programs, patches,
hotfixes, etc. listed in Windows XP's "Add or Remove Programs" applet
when "Show Updates" is checked. So far I've tried Belarc, Everest and
some apps that list the registry's Uninstall key, but none show the
patches.  One example is: "Update for Outlook 2003 (KB913807)
OUTLOOKff"

Windows uses C:\WINDOWS or WINNT\system32\mshta.exe to create
an html display on demand for the Add/Remove Programs window.
That's why it takes so long to completely load.

Sadly, I know of no way to capture the contents, and it's not
for lack of trying.
