I needed to check software installs on multiple machines. One thing I found was to utilize WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation). The command is simple:
wmic product where "name like '%%Office%%'" get name
Above searches the installed programs list and returns anything with word Office in it. The output looks like:
Name Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component Office 16 Click-to-Run Localization Component Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component 64-bit Registration Office 16 Click-to-Run Licensing Component
This helps me quickly to check and find if a particular software is installed. You can combine above with a psexec command and get it in one swoop. In my case, I used ScreenConnect’s command line to run it and checking the list.
