string registryKey = @”SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall”;
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryKey);
foreach (String a in key.GetSubKeyNames())
{
RegistryKey subkey = key.OpenSubKey(a);

You need to look in one more place in the registry: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-...-7206\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for every user that exists in the OS Such way you don’t get applications that are installed for the specific user.
