Use the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line to list all installed programs

Windows comes with a command line version of the Management Instrumentation (WMIC).To get the list of all installed programs in a text file, simply enter the following command in a prompt:

wmic product > c:product.txt

To get a list of installed apps on a remote PC you can do the command:

wmic /node:”PC NAME” product list

The results are easily imported into Excel.
