    Hi,

    I'm starting to work with xml in powershell and I have stuck with it. My case: I have to inventory workstation/laptops in env that I have windows xp/windows 7 without SP1. I found and tested script in vbs but i got output in xml -  example :

    <bios version="LENOVO - 2510" smbiosversion="GLET97WW (2.51 )" smbiosmajorversion="2" smbbiosminorversion="7">
      <bioscharacteristics id="7" name="PCI is supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="9" name="Plug and Play is supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="11" name="BIOS is Upgradable (Flash)" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="12" name="BIOS shadowing is allowed" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="15" name="Boot from CD is supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="16" name="Selectable Boot is supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="32" name="ACPI supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="33" name="USB Legacy is supported" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="40" name="Unknown (Undocumented)" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="42" name="Unknown (Undocumented)" />
      <bioscharacteristics id="43" name="Unknown (Undocumented)" />
     </bios>
     <osconfiguration osname="Microsoft Windows 10 Pro" computerrole="Standalone Workstation" domainname="WORKGROUP" domaintype="workgroup" windowslocation="C:\WINDOWS" oslanguage="Polish" installdate="2019-01-19 23:47:48" />
     <lastuser name="" />
     <windowscomponents>
      <component name="Internet Explorer (from Start Menu and Desktop)" class="0800" classname="" level="1" />
      <component name="Windows Media Player (from Start Menu and Desktop)" class="2200" classname="" level="1" />
     </windowscomponents>
     <installedapplications>
      <msiapplication productname=". ." vendor="Intel" version="7.1" installdate="20170321" />
      <msiapplication productname=". . ." vendor="Intel" version="2.7.2.4" installdate="20170321" />

    To create reports and diagrams, I have to export it to csv. will be good if I use company sheet for it ( the columns is already predefined). Example:

    Type of device Name Manufacturer Model Memory Proccessor BIOS

    I try to work with get-content cmdlet and select-xml but I do not have idea for next step.

    Can someone guide me how to get final summary based on above example.

    If that were valid xml, this would convert it to an object.  There's no top level node, and the installedapplications node isn't closed.

    $xml = (select-xml / file.xml).node
