How do I list installed MSI from the command line? [closed]

Answer 1

Mabybe this is a good starting point for you example VB Script from MSDN:

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & _
    "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
    strComputer & _
    "\root\cimv2")

Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product")   

If colSoftware.Count > 0 Then

    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objTextFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile( _
        "c:\SoftwareList.txt", True)

    For Each objSoftware in colSoftware
        objTextFile.WriteLine objSoftware.Caption & vbtab & _
        objSoftware.Version
    Next

    objTextFile.Close

Else
    WScript.Echo "Cannot retrieve software from this computer."

End If

I'm not sure if this is what you need but you can query the uninstall list from the command line with:

REG QUERY HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Answer 3

You may use PowerShell and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here is a one liner:

Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product

Here is help for the Get-WmiObject cmdlet:

Here is a sample where we select the first installed program and format it as a table:

PS C:\Users\knut> Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product |
>> select -First 1 | ft Name, Version, Vendor -AutoSize
>>

Name             Version  Vendor
