Read more about system and application classes, you could find more useful information. However, your question is not descriptive enough to me.

So basically you want to display all the software installed in your computer and user able to open those just by clicking a button or something. Am I correct?

this is only for listing.
i already got it.
i want path of specified software so that i can call it within my application.

another good place to obtain all installed applications is "open with" section of the windows registry :

But it needs a deep search :-?
