PowerShell - How to Find an App ID to Help when creating a Package

You know how sometimes you just can't find the uninstall string of your msi or app. Well one way is to search the registry using the app id.

To get the list of all the app's and their app id's run the following command in Powershell.

Get-WmiObject -Class win32_product

You'll get an output like below

Then just go into the registry and do a search for IndentifyingNumber

As an example I searched for the google chrome app id - 566A834D-2DDD-3376-B265-20E45991EB23

And there you have it
