Ying Li has a cool PowerShell Script to list installed Software on a local computer HERE<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

When I looked at it and thought to myself, I can do that with 1 line (if I cheat a little).  Here it is:<\/p>\n

PS> gp HKLM:\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\* |Select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate, HelpLink, UninstallString |ogv<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is what  you get for that 1 line of code:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cheated by using OGV  (Out-GridView).  Ying used Excel and the output is nicer.  But when you only want to spend a single line\u2026  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Experiment!  Enjoy!  Engage! <\/p>\n
