I am wondering how to find and select the guid of programs not listed in 

gcim win32_product

I am hoping to be able to select the name and the product id / guid and then use them for a second part. What I have so far:

Get-ChildItem HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | Get-ItemProperty

The guid is listed many times but I do not now how to "grab" or select it from in between the brackets

I was able to figure it out, its slightly crude but it display the information I needed. 

function Get-Guid
{
Param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$Name
)
$path = 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'
Get-ItemProperty -Path $path | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*$name*"} | select Displayname, ModifyPath
}
