powershell - Pulling a list of entries from Registry key and checking them for anything that is contained in an array -

i using following code try , pull list of installed software on system , check entries within list, far have managed software list run desired using following code:

$path = 'hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\*'  get-childitem $path | get-itemproperty | select-object displayname if (itemproperty -name -eq ('wacom tablet')) {    start notepad.exe } 

i array references displayname list, following error:

itemproperty : cannot find path 'c:\windows\system32\wacom tablet' because not exist. @ c:\users\username\documents\scripts\win10test.ps1:39 char:5 + if (itemproperty -name -eq ('wacom tablet')) { +     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : objectnotfound: (c:\windows\system32\wacom tablet:string) [get-itemproperty], itemnotfoundexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : pathnotfound,microsoft.powershell.commands.getitempropertycommand

how achieve this?

itemproperty expanded get-itemproperty, if condition

itemproperty -name -eq ('wacom tablet') 

becomes

get-itemproperty -name -eq -path ('wacom tablet') 

meaning code trying property -eq item wacom tablet in current working directory (in case apparently c:\windows\system32).

what seem want this:

get-childitem $path | get-itemproperty |   where-object { $_.displayname -eq 'wacom tablet'} |   foreach-object {     # stuff   } 

or this:

$prop = get-childitem $path | get-itemproperty |         select-object -expand displayname if ($prop -eq 'wacom tablet') {   # stuff }
