[wpkg-users] In memory of WMIC...

[Marco Gaiarin]

In my recipes i've used sometime some WMIC query, and now Microsoft have
totally deprecated it; in the latest Win11 24H2 upgrade i got,  i can enable
the WMIC feature, but keeps in a 'Staged' state and does not work.


Google halped me to port some query from WMIC to powershell, but i've not
found a way to port some query like:

	wmic product where "Name like 'Adobe Acrobat Reader % MUI'" call uninstall /nointeractive

i use query like this in some recipes to do some 'cleanup' before installing
some precise software version.

I've found the query part, as:

	Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "Adobe Acrobat Reader*" }

but how to call the uninstall part, with silent option?


Thanks.

PS: i've tried:
	Get-Package -Name "Adobe Acrobat Reader*" | Uninstall-Package -Force

and seems to work at least for MSI, but something like this:

	Get-Package -Name "BCUninstaller*" | Uninstall-Package -Force

does not work... does nothing...
