How can we find out whether Toad (and the version) has been installed on a computer? (4382554)

How can we find out whether Toad (and the version) has been installed on a computer?

Question:

Our Team needs to be able to detect (electronically) that Toad (and which version) has been installed on a workstation/computer.  What can we use as a method of detection to ascertain that Toad (and the version) has been installed on a computer?

Solution:

This information is also available on the web and can be searched for any specific application.  However, for Toad, the following should help.

This Powershell script will work and must be run from an elevated Powershell console:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Vendor -like "*Quest*" -and $_.Name -like "*Toad*"}

Additionally, If you want to find all products installed related to Quest you can use the following command:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Vendor -like "*Quest*"}
