WMIC to unistall a program in Wow6432Node

Hello want to use wmic to unistall a program the problem is that the program is stored in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

And wmic can only view by default: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Can you find a way to unistall apps in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

using wmic?

  • Doing what you are asking for is documented under Requesting WMI Data on a 64-bit Platform:

    C++ applications can use the IWbemContext interface with IWbemServices::ExecMethod to communicate the use of a nondefault provider to WMI.
