I've stucked with the same question a few years ago. At this time, I've found only workarounds, not a good solution. The reason often mentioned is the use of 32bit and 64bit. This couldn't confirmend at my systems.

My used workaround was to read the following regkeys: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Today I would try the powershell wmi.
