How to List All Installed Applications From the Command Line

One simple command to list all installed application :
wmic product

 We can also save them into the .csv file with this comamnd :
wmic product get /format:csv > Software_%Computername%.csv

If this command failed with this error : Invalid XSL format (or) file name.
You should change the Regional and Language to English (US) and re-run the command it should be generated file like : Software_COMPUTERNAME.csv

    Thanks for this, but any idea why I get this error (I copied and pasted your exact command):

    C:\Users\stea201>wmic product get /format:csv > Software_%Computername%.csv
    Invalid XSL format (or) file name.

    Maybe it's about Regional and Language settings. Change your Regional and Language settings trough Control Panel, set to English (US). I hope it's work
