I am trying to retrieve a list of all hardware like
Device Manager
and Softwares installed like in
"Add and Remove Programs"
on a remote system in LAN. Is it their any 1 or 2 dlls to include instead of all dll for each hardware. ?

This question is reasonably vague, but I think what you want to use is WMI (Windows Managment Instrumentation)
Basically, it seems to be the same question as Starting with window application for retriving list of software and hardware installed on remote pc.

I believe that Device Manager actually uses WMI to get the data (not 100% sure though). Anyway, most if not all information displayed in Device Manager can be obtained fro direct or indirect of CIM_LogicalDevice.
