Where are the software GUIDs?

Question

_{Wednesday, February 10, 2016 3:53 PM}

I upgraded my system, so I still have the "uninstall" regkeys, but my application guy tells me that Windows 10 no longer has a list of software GUIDs, or they have at least changed location. Searching (google) didn't really return any results. Thanks!

Thank you! ...but is this information no longer in the registry? We use this for specific product / version information, as well as the uninstall string. Also, doesn't this only pull in GUIDs for MSI based installers, but not MSI wrapped executables? Any idea if SCCM 2012 R2 SP1-2 still uses product GUID for detection method in Win10?

Based on my test, you still could find them in the registry same path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Hi,

You can get it via this command:

1. Right click the start button, select Command Prompt(Admin).

2. Run the following command:

wmic product get  This will show within the window a list of all program GUID’s.

If you’d like to print these to Notepad so you can easily navigate, type in the command as so:

wmic product get > C:InstalledPrograms.txt

3.This process will take about 2-3 minutes to complete, however it will give you a complete list of programs and their GUID’s.
