How are you going to collate/correlate the data? Usually this kind of
software wants to talk to a database over a network.

However, I think you'll find WinAudit (google for it, I don't have a
link in my head at the moment) to be free, and fairly useful.

For a longer-term solution, something like OCS-NG and GLPI in tandem
might prove useful - also free.

There are other solutions, but these are the two I'm most familiar with.

I am trying to help out an organization with a very limited budget.  They have done a very poor job of tracking their 
system baseline, so I am looking for a tool that I can use to do a software inventory of their systems.  The 
conditions are:


 1)  Has to be free or nearly free.

 2)  Has to work from removable media.

 3)  Has to work without network connectivity.


 Anyone have any favourites that meet the requirements?
