Which end? Get the user's installed programs, or the server's installed programs?

Probably not. It's almost impossible to get a list of installed programs from windows itself.

Yea, the only thing I can possibly think of is to run some PC auditing software to scan for know program signatures. Although I'm sure it will be difficult to interface with.
