How to identify the executable path of an installed application using powershell?

Question

I install multiple applications (.msi) on different servers, am looking for a solution to identify the installed path of an application.

In powershell i used get-wmiobject to get the installed date and stuff but there is a installlocation property which returns blank. Is there any way of finding the executable location ? If not powershell any other tech will do.

In my opinion, registry infos for installed apps are better in the registry than in wmi. Have you tried to look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<yourappli> ? (Or for 64 bits: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninst‌all). — plunkets, Commented Nov 14, 2013 at 12:40

Maybe https://psmsi.codeplex.com/ helps? It's a Windows Installer module for PowerShell. I haven't used it, but if you are interested in extracting info out of MSI files maybe it will help.
