    WMIC Deprecated - HEADS UP


    I used WMIC /? > WMIC.txt to view all of WMIC's commands and at the top of the page it says in red "WMIC is deprecated". After doing some looking on the internet, I found that Powershell is going to be a replacement and that some of WMIC commands may return errors.

    Blank Lines In 'wmic product get name'

    Matt,

    I don't get any blank lines.

    Whilst I cannot find any source document, it has always been my understanding that WMIC gets its list from the Registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    WMIC is 'deprecated'.
    - Type WMIC /? to see for yourself.
    - This means whatever MS wants it to mean on any given occasion. - 'Deprecated' can mean that security vulnerabilities will be addressed but no other development work will take place.
    - 'Deprecated' can mean completely inhibited.
    The WMIC method has always been limited anyway. You can find additional entries in Control panel, Programs & features.

    Do the PowerShell equivalents also produce blank lines for your computer?
    Get-WmiObject win32_product | Select-Object Name, Version, PackageName, InstallDate
    Get-CimInstance win32_product | Select-Object Name, Version, PackageName, InstallDate
    Taken from How to get a list of all installed Software - SID-500
    I suspect, but do not know, that this method is as limited as WMIC.

    Option 5 - wmic


    Hey Shawn

    If I use Option 5, it doesn't seem to work out quite the same way as it does in your screenshot.

    If I type "wmic product get name" in step 2, then I end up back at the command prompt. See my screeenshot.

    But in your screenshot you seem to end up at "wmic:root\cli>".

    This means that if I type "product where name=”name of program” call uninstall" as step 4, I just get an error saying 'Product' is not recognised as a command, I guess because I'm back at a command prompt and not within wmic?

    I suspect that typing "wmic" on its own before step 4 would make it work out?

    Or maybe this command would work directly from a command prompt? (I've not tried this yet.)

    "wmic product where name=”name of program” call uninstall"
