Re: Getting a list of installed applications


  • Subject: Re: Getting a list of installed applications
  • From: Ricci Adams <email@hidden>

I received several e-mails which discussed LSGetApplications and _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs in the LaunchServices framework.

Although one would expect _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs to be private, it was discussed in the TN2029 TechNote. (http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2029.html). However, I cannot find information about LSGetApplications or _LSCopyAllApplicationURLs in any of the header files.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Is there an easy way to get a list of all applications that a user has installed? I have searched numerous resources but have not been able to find anything on the subject.

I am trying to implement something similar to the old MacOS 9 "Open with Application" dialog box, which would display a list of all available applications.

Thanks!
