Powershell - List Programs installed on Remote Computer

Now we COULD just use a GET-WMIOBJECT Win32_Product to query installed applications but that’s only good for applications registered via the MSI (Windows Installer)

Function to uninstall a program:

function uninstallapp ($x) { 
   $app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { 
      $_.Name -match "$x" 
   } 

   $app.Uninstall() 
}
