1Password software not included in WMIC output [1Password does not use a MSI-based installer]
Doing some housekeeping after a major upgrade and I ran the following software inventory script:
Windows + W + R
cmd.exe
C:\Users\myuseraccount>wmic
wmic:root\cli>/output:C:\Users\myuseraccount\softwarelist.txt product get name, version, installlocation, installdate, vendor
For some reason 1Password is not included in the output, checked for both software name and publisher name. Both not included.
Is there a reason why 1PW isn't included in WMIC output?
1Password Version: 4.6.0.586
Extension Version: 4.4.3
OS Version: Windows Pro 8.1
Sync Type: Dropbox

Your question resulted in my learning something I didn't know before from one of our Windows developers. So thank you for that :)
The reason why 1Password isn't listed in directory you can poll via WMI is because 1Password doesn't use a MSI-based installer.
You can find us in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
registry key, however, if that helps.0 -
Thanks! I didn't know that either. Explains a few things with other omissions in this output.
