choose application list - revisited

Am I the only one to have this problem? If not, surely someone knows how to fix it?

tell application "Finder" to get creator type of process (choose application)
-->

Brings up a list of every application that was ever on the computer, including a lot of OS 9 and applescript applications, whether they still exist or not. Selecting one of them gets an error "Finder got an error: A descriptor type mismatch occurred.". this occurs with applications that are running or not running.

ALSO

Is there a way to update the list to something that is current?
