appwiz.cpl for Server Core

on Tuesday, August 14, 2012

appwiz.cpl is the Add/Remove Programs dialog. On Windows Server Core the control panel is not available. Instead the wmic program can be used to gather the install list. The output from the command is pretty long, so it’s best to store it in a file and open it with notepad.

wmic product get > list.txt 
notepad list.txt

Or, with powershell (if .NET 3.5.1 is installed)



gp HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate, HelpLink, UninstallString | ogv

Thank you for informative information.

Used the list.txt output to find *.msi filename of application to unistall.
Then run: msiexec /unistall *.msi with success.

Best regards from Arild Carlsen, Norway
