You'll have to retrieve it from the Registry. Each app on the list is
a separate subkey under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Note the text that appears on the list is the "DisplayName" value
(usually the same as the subkey name). If you need help with the Reg
Api, there are plenty of examples around, including
