UninstallView
UninstallView is a free Windows utility for viewing installed programs and uninstalling software on local or remote computers.
What UninstallView is
UninstallView is a free Windows utility for viewing installed programs and uninstalling software on local or remote computers. Its list can draw from the current system, other user profiles, a remote computer, an external drive, or a shadow copy. With Load Windows Apps enabled, it can include and uninstall Windows Apps. Available uninstall methods include standard uninstall, change-install when available, and quiet uninstall when the program supplies a quiet command. Program lists can be exported as text, tab-delimited, CSV, HTML, XML, or JSON, including from the command line. The tool is portable: run UninstallView.exe without an installation process or extra DLL files. NirSoft lists Windows XP through Windows 11 support for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Remote uninstall requires Microsoft Sysinternals PsExec in the same folder; remote commands run as SYSTEM, and some uninstallers may not work properly in that context. The utility reads uninstall details from the Registry and may supplement missing information from other sources, which NirSoft says can be inaccurate.
