smb_enum_softwares doesn't work against vista?

Subject: smb_enum_softwares doesn't work against vista?

Hi there

I've just noticed that we weren't getting reports from Vista boxes of 
what software was installed. I can see nessusd reporting 
"SMB/Registry/Enumerated is missing" - which stops smb_enum_softwares 
(and others?) from working.

This is while connecting using an admin account, and I even re-enabled 
the "Remote Registry" service - which is disabled by default with Vista 
(and nessus reports it successfully got registry access).

Vista appears to be storing the software details under the same area as 
XP (HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall), but 
nessus doesn't seem to be able to pick it - like it can under XP?

This is nessus-3.0.6 under RHE4

Thanks!
