# InstalledApplication(name='Mozilla Firefox 66.0.2 (x64 ru)', version='66.0.2', install_date=None, install_location=WindowsPath('C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox'), install_source=None, modify_path=None, publisher='Mozilla', uninstall_string='"C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\uninstall\\helper.exe"')
# InstalledApplication(name='Mozilla Maintenance Service', version='66.0.2', install_date=None, install_location=None, install_source=None, modify_path=None, publisher='Mozilla', uninstall_string='"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Mozilla Maintenance Service\\uninstall.exe"')
# InstalledApplication(name='Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions 6.0.4', version='6.0.4.0', install_date=None, install_location=None, install_source=None, modify_path=None, publisher='Oracle Corporation', uninstall_string='C:\\Program Files\\Oracle\\VirtualBox Guest Additions\\uninst.exe')

# ...

Searching applications

import winapps

for app in winapps.search_installed('tortoisehg'):
    print(app)

Uninstalling applications

import winapps

# Assuming you have exactly one installed Notepad++
[npp] = winapps.search_installed('Notepad++')
npp.uninstall('/S')

# Simpler universal variant (uninstall all Notepad++ applications)
winapps.uninstall('Notepad++', args=['/S'])

Caveats

The library currently lookups only for software installed for all users. Only Windows Installer 3.0 .exe installers are supported in installer_command, install, and uninstall are supported.

Credits

This library is heavily inspired by win_pkg SaltStack module.
