Server Info (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
Browser: Chrome
RMM Version (as shown in top left of web UI): v0.20.0

Installation Method:

Standard
Standard with --insecure flag at install
Docker

Agent Info (please complete the following information):

Agent version (as shown in the 'Summary' tab of the agent from web UI): Agent v2.8.0
Agent OS: Windows 10, Windows 11

Describe the bug
The agent cannot list user-scoped installed software, because it uses: github.com/iamacarpet/go-win64api v0.0.0-20230324134531-ef6dbdd6db97 which is outdated (2023-03-24).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install some software that doesn't require admin privilege (eg Telegram)
Click on the Software tab on the RMM UI
Observe that the installed software isn't listed.

Expected behavior
The agent should be able to list all installed software. Especially software that does not require admin privileges.
