Hi there

We're using nessus-3.2.1 and it can enumerate the software installed on 
WinXP machines just fine - but it can't do Vista?

It's weird. Looking at smb_enum_softwares.nasl implies it should work. I 
remotely connected to Vista registries using the same Nessus creds and 
the Uninstall area looks like the script should pull back the data just 
fine?

Looking at the nessusd debug log shows smb_enum_softwares being called 
against the host and finishing with no sign of error.

Thanks

PS: we are using an administrative account, and remote registry service 
is enabled.
