The WIN32_Product WMI class doesn't return all the installed software. To get a list, try accessing these two registry keys:

# get 64-bit software on 64-bit systems OR 32-bit software on 32-bit systems
[array]$32_or_64bitsoftware = get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'
# get 32-bit software ON 64-bit systems
[array]$32_on_64bitsoftware = get-itemproperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'

To return the contents of those registry keys you'd use Invoke-Command.

Enable WinRM on target machine, then run (replacing localhost with computername):

Invoke-Command -ComputerName localhost -scriptblock { Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall*' | Select-Object DisplayName }

or

Invoke-Command -ComputerName localhost -scriptblock { Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall*' | Select-Object DisplayName }

Actually, you'd want to return the results of BOTH of them.
