    Hi!

    When i do 

    Get-wmiobject -class win32_product

    I get a list of installed programs. but i dont get ALL installed programs since i see some more in appwiz.cpl

    How do i do a powershell query that shows everything that appwiz.cpl does?

    You could have a look in the registry:

    Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

    Jaap, that would only display the 32 bit applications on af 64-bit machine.

    You would want both the 32-bit and 64-bit applications of the machine

     

    $app32 = Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
$app64 = Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

$appAll = $app32 + $app64

$appAll | % { $_.name }

    However that would most of the time just give you a GUID, instead of a pretty name.
