Remarks

This method and its overloads require administrative privileges if the user security ID specified is different from the user security ID of the calling user. Otherwise, an AccessDeniedException is thrown. Similar to the FindPackages method, this method and its overloads can be used to enumerate the installed packages for a particular user.
