Looking for freeware

Hello,

I am trying to find good freeware for the following purposes:

1) Generates a report of all installed software. It would be ideal if it can somehow read the registry and also generate list of software which are no longer installed but have their traces in the registry

2) A freeware which will allow me to capture the text displayed in error messages/dialog boxes.

Thank you

You can generate a list of applications installed by running the command prompt. For more information, please see:
