While it's specific to MS software, Microsoft does provide a free
software inventory tool.

I expect there are some freeware tools out there that query the
uninstall registry area to inventory software. There is a sample script
in the Windows Admin Scripting Guide that will query the installed
software via the registry. That would be a free and simple answer.
