Hi People,

I tried to get the value of the registry entry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Application\CurVer (Default) with this command:

Code: Select all

Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:Software\Classes\Word.Application\CurVer'.(default)
But not sure how to get the returned value?
(default) : Word.Application.16
PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Word.Application\CurVer
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Word.Application
PSChildName : CurVer
PSDrive : HKLM
PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry
How to correct my Powershell script above?

Thanks in advance.
