Get-wmiobject Question

I am trying to write a PowerShell script that checks for certain installation information. I was able to write a query that successfully returns the information about an application but it did not include the 'PATHNAME'. Is there something I am missing in the query to make sure that is included in the returned data? TIA.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | ?{$_.Name -like "Python*2.7* "}

 

Thanks for the reply. I guess I need to rethink my methodology.

 

Thanks. It took me a while to figure out what you meant so I'm probably doing it wrong but what I did doesn't work:

Get-ItemProperty "hklm:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths "

Returns nothing.

 

If you created the key GetItemProperty Try removing the hyphen

 

I guess I'm lost. I did not create any key. Get-ItemProperty is a powershell cmdlet that I thought I was supposed to use to get the registry data.

 

Thanks but that is not much help. I added -Path to my cmdlet but still get nothing back:

Get-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths "

 

But doesn't that cmdlet return all installed apps? I'm not asking for a specific one in that query yet.
