I don't have that particular uninstaller key but the code below, using
the wmi module to hide the plumbing, queries all the installers and
should give you enough of an idea, hopefully. For brevilty, I've only
bothered with extracting string values; it would be easy to extract
other datatypes.

To perform the same query on another computer, just pass the other
computer name (or IP address) as the first parameter to the wmi.WMI call
(or use the named param "computer").

<code>
import _winreg as winreg
import wmi

HKLM = winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
UNINSTALLERS = "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall"

registry = wmi.WMI(namespace="default").StdRegProv
_, names = registry.EnumKey(HKLM, UNINSTALLERS)
for name in names:
    print name
    uninstaller = UNINSTALLERS + "\\" + name
    _, value_names, value_types = registry.EnumValues(HKLM, uninstaller)
    for value_name, value_type in zip(value_names, value_types):
        if value_type == winreg.REG_SZ:
            _, value = registry.GetStringValue(
              HKLM, uninstaller, value_name
            )
        else:
            value = "(Non-string value)"
        print u"  ", value_name, u"=>", value

</code>
