How to execute this powershell commands in a batch file?

Question

I'm trying to run this powershell command:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize > C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\Mysoftware.txt

in a batch file. This is what i got now :

powershell.exe -noexit -command "& {Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*'; Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate; Format-Table -Autosize; > 'C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\Mysoftware.txt';}"

but it's telling me ">" is not a command

What i'm trying to do is get the list of all the software of a computer in the MySoftware.txt file.

Thanks for the help

backtick? Write-Output? btw, why batch but not a posh script? — Jaqueline Vanek

You added a ; before the > that is not in the posh command that you show. — EBGreen

Also, this will only show you the 32 bit apps that are installed. — EBGreen

Remove the ";" before redirecting to a file through ">" and use "|" to pass the output of a command to the input of the next command instead of putting ";" in the end of each command.

powershell.exe -noexit -command "& {Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table -Autosize > 'C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\Mysoftware.txt' }"

can you try this line instead?

powershell.exe -noexit -command "& {Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | export-csv 'C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\Mysoftware.csv' -nti}"
