if it does NOT works then and only then use :
To fetch software installed installed on any windows server (where WMIC does not works)
here is a VBScript that should output the same thing as
product get name. Save it to a file GtPrdNames.vbs and execute it.= = = = = = == = = = = = =
Option Explicit
Dim strComputerDim objWMIService, colProducts, objProductDim arrstrProducts(), i
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProducts = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Product")
i = 0
For Each objProduct in colProducts
ReDim Preserve arrStrProducts(i)
arrStrProducts(i) = objProduct.Name
i = i + 1
Next
WScript.Echo Join(arrStrProducts, vbNewLine) = = = = = = == = = = = = =
Warning: This method has worked for me on windows 2000 & 2003 env, But could not guarantee for you. You may use is as is, Risk involved !

I am not sure if it can work on Vista, You can try this.
ReplyDelete1. Go to run -> type Wbemtest
2. Launch program
3. click Connect
4. Change value root\default to root\cimv2, then click Connect
5. Click Quey
6. Enter 'Select * from Win32_Product' and then click apply.
This should work, if this work then you may try the script, if not then you may try to register the dll by comamnd 'regsvr32 wbemdisp.dll'.
If it goes well, then it means WMIC is fine. But as said, I am not sure if it will work on Vista and about the risk involved.
