SMS_Def.MOF Softgrid edit - doesn't really get the job done

I was playing around with the great Mof hack by Cristiano from the article “Inventorying Microsoft SoftGrid Streamed Applications” found here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/crisag/archive/2006/12/14/inventorying-microsoft-softgrid-streamed-applications.aspx

Two notes:
1) there is a typo on this line “string OriginalDescriptionURL” needs a semicolon at the end ‘;’
2) This will return all the possible to execute SoftGrid applications on a client.  It does not tell you which ones are installed nor when they were last used.  A miss leading reg key titled “LastLaunch” exists.  However I cannot find out why or when it is updated.

Information is gathered from here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Softricity\SoftGrid Client\CurrentVersion\Applications

Future:  Microsoft Application Virtualization (SoftGrid 4.5) will have a WMI connector that should allow better interaction.  It was a desired config request at Microsoft
