Get the list of installed applications remotely (not WMI)

Is there a way to get the list of installed applications from Regestry without interacting with the PC directly via WMI?

I have a promoted to RW user on a Domain Controller and a bunch of PCs. I want to write an automation PS-script which will grab strings from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

You can use the WMI: 

Get-WmiObject win32_product

But not recommended to use that cause it's broken. You should use the registry approach only like:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize
