I think he wants to see what tools from backtrack have windows versions to install in his windows xp machine.

To the OP, it's not a very smart move, but ok...

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > installed_apps.txt

dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > installed_apps.txt

I usually just do the following, but I guess your method works too.

dpkg -l

The /pentest directory should also be checked.

Well, I do it that way as part of a procedure I use when I upgrade my OS (clean install).

I run that command and save the file. Then I install the new release and run the command again and save it as new_apps.txt

Then I substract:

comm -3 installed_apps.txt new_apps.txt > to_be_installed.txt

So I can install what is missing:

apt-get install dselect

dpkg --set-selections < to_be_installed.txt

aptitude update

dselect install

You're only going to get a half dozen apps that have windows versions.
