How to check correct version of Edge Chromium
Hi, I've installed Edge Chromium on my PC but when I run below command, it's reflecting that Edge Legacy is installed How do I reflect Edge Chromium version? Please advise PS C:\> Get-AppxPackage -...
Kelly_Y, I'm using PS to check on remote users on the version. When I run PS on my PC, it's reflecting as above although the version on my PC is reflecting the correct Edge Chromium version
zerphyr the Get-AppxPackage Cmdlet shows only Appx-Apps.
Use WMI with PowerShell as follows, to get regular Installed Software-Packages:
PS C:\Users\gunnar> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | where Name -Like "*Edge*"

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6
PS C:\Users\7036419> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | where Name -Like "*Edge*"

Below is the message when I run the command
I'm currently replying to the message using Edge ChromiumI have no idea why your Win32_Product WMI-Class doesn't contain Edge.
There could be two options:
- Your Win32_Product WMI-Class doesn't work at all, to check this remove the where-Filter and just list all installed Product. The List should match your Control-Panel => Software List.
- You haven't installed any MSI-Version of Edge, does it show up in Control-Panel => Software?
Gunnar-Haslinger, thank you for the details. The installer is based on exe for Edge and not msi
Does it mean that it's not able to detect if exe installer was used instead of msi? If that is correct, I'll proceed to reinstall using msi installer
