How to get a list of installed programs in Visual Basic 2008

Visual Basic 2008 - Get A List of installed Programs. Just a simple tutorial on getting a list of installed programs into listbox. I;m back on my old laptop as my Vista computer is stuffing up.
Codes:

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Dim Key, Reader As RegistryKey, Y As String
Key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unin­stall", False)
For Each X In Key.GetSubKeyNames
Reader = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Unin­stall\" & X, False)
If Reader.GetValueNames().Contains("DisplayName") Then
Y = Reader.GetValue("DisplayName")
If Not ListBox1.Items.Contains(Y) Then ListBox1.Items.Add(Y)
End If
Next

When I try to compile this under VB 2005 it gives me this same problem. "For each X in Key.GetSubKeyNames is broken because "X" is undefined.

[kareempishdadi]
