SOLVED Application visible in Software Centre but not visible in Powershell

[macquazi]

Hi, I am trying to use powershell to install an available application from software centre.

When running Get-WmiObject -Class CCM_Application -Namespace "root\ccm\clientsdk" | select name,publisher,softwareversion | ft -AutoSize

it shows me most of my applications that are in software center, installed/not intalled

However I recently packaged a new piece of software and it is available in SC. However when running the above code it does not see it. As result when calling upon it to install, it fails.

This does not happen on every device. I have setup both user and device collections for the application whether that makes a difference. I think there may be a difference between when a machine is targeted and when a user is targeted.

Can anyone offer any advice on why this would be? or anything else I could try?

I am quite new to this, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I bet it is because of user APPs. and therefore you have a different WMI call for that.

Thanks Garth, that explains it. You wouldn't happen to know the different WMI call would you?

Not without looking it up.
