Likely, not possible. It would depend on the software. Explain further.

From a webpage? That'd be a serious security violation. You can check to see if a certain plugin is installed, like Flash, but you can't tell if, say, Office was installed.

Which software? You're going to have to explain at least that much. Certain software is detectable on the web server, but many are not without additional help.
