Hello @Iltexanomontano

Yes, it requires a bit of syntax experience but I will explain it here.

You can use the WMI Operators, to specify wildcards or ranges of numbers, as seen in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/like-operator

Example:

SELECT DisplayName, Version
FROM Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms
WHERE (DisplayName LIKE '%Firefox%')
AND ((Version LIKE '7[8-9][0-9].[0-9]%') OR (Version LIKE '8[0-9].[0-9]%')) OR (Version LIKE '9[0-9].[0-9]%'))

In the case of (Version LIKE '7[8-9].[0-9]%') it does select versions 78 or 79 subversion .00 until 0.99. Another example is the (Version LIKE '9[0-9].[0-9]%')) which selects versions 90 - 99 with subversion .00 until 99

Hope this helps with your query,

I don't understand if Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms class is accessible in every computer (Windows 7 / 10). I'm not able to find this class in root/CIMv2 namespace.
I can run classic wmi script e.g. to detect OS type but I need to know if there are wmi requirements to detect firefox info.
I have to install some modules to every pc or It's necessary on domain controller to have "Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms" ?
