If the registries in yellow are not present or values changes I need to alert . The value change is less important the present of key is priority

    This is in the "Current User" registry and that's not something that WMI can easily grab over the network (because most of the collection runs as the SYSTEM service).  You also will run into issues as the "version" portion moves forward.  Outlook version 14 is part of Office 2010.  That's pretty old, so updates will happen after that.  This isn't impossible, just difficult.  Any chance you can provide some details about why you need this?  There may be another/better way to get it.

    Another way to do this is to have scheduled task run registry upon users login , check registry and create event ID if missing . From there you can just monitor for event
