I have installed the client software which is created using wix tool. Also installed the patches for the client software.
I need to retrieve back the list of patches installed in the remote machine to my admin application.

I tried, Get-HotFix, Wmic & Win32_QuickFixEngineering. But it retrieves only Microsoft Windows Updates

Could you please help me to get the patches for the client software.

    Hi,

    If you have installed patches/updates for an existing installed software, you will not be able to identify the patches/updates themselves.
    You can identify that the existing installed software have been updated by checking the version/build number of the installed software.'

    The following PowerShell command lists all installed software and their versions:

    Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Select Name, Version
    

    Best regards,
    Leon
