Hi,
Does anyone know how I can use the windows installer com object in order to
retrieve a list of products and a list of installed components for a given
product?
Any sample would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Found the following code in VBScript.
Does anyone knows how to convert it to csharp?

If InStr(1, optionFlag, "c", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
Dim component, components, client, clients, path
Set components = installer.Components : CheckError
message = "---Components in product " & productCode & "---"
For Each component In components
 Set clients = installer.ComponentClients(component) : CheckError
 For Each client In Clients
  If client = productCode Then
   path = installer.ComponentPath(productCode, component) : CheckError
   message = message & vbNewLine & component & " = " & path
   Exit For
  End If
 Next
 Set clients = Nothing
Next
Set components = Nothing
Wscript.Echo message
End If
