Run one program from another, Raspberry Pi 2 Windows 10 IoT - raspberry-pi2

Question

I spent several hours to find answer for my question. I am so tired, so I give up and ask You for help.
Is there any way to check installed programs on raspberry pi (with windows 10 iot) from c# code?
I need to do simple ListView with installed programs and run if one is clicked.

Answer 1

Just a thought - the Win 10 Core has a browser/web server interface.
http://...:8080
There is a menu option for listing all the loaded/installed apps on the RPI2.
Can you run a network trace to see the call the browser page is making to get the list of apps?

(you maybe prompted to login - I wasnt)
This what I see from my machine.
