Loop through a collection

Loop through a collection and create a PSCustomObject.

$collection = Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_Product

$resultset = foreach($item in $collection){
   # Add names and values to an PSCustomObject
   [PSCustomObject]@{
      InstallDate = $item.InstallDate
      Vendor      = $item.Vendor
      Name        = $item.Name
      #PackageName = $item.PackageName
      #Description = $item.Description
      Version     = $item.Version
   }
}
$resultset | Sort-Object Name | Format-Table -AutoSize

Output:

InstallDate Vendor                     Name                        Version
----------- ------                     ----                        -------
