This code will give me a hashtable  
$fff = Get-ChildItem “HKLM:Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” -Recurse|Select-Object \*|Group-Object PSChildName -AsHashTable -AsString

Return snipet:  
Property : {Inno Setup: Setup Version, Inno Setup: App Path, InstallLocation, Inno Setup: Icon Group…}  
PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Skype\_is1  
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall  
PSChildName : Skype\_is1  
PSDrive : HKLM

I want to return the DisplayName value from Property. How?  
Will eventually retrieve all entries but for testing have simplified it to  
$fff.‘7-Zip’.Property.GetValue(‘DisplayName’) AND .Item(‘DisplayName’)

thank you

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are after - as when I ran your code, I did not get the same “return snippet” you mention above -

However - would this work for you?

```
$fff.psobject.properties.Item('keys').value
```

As it turns out the Property did not contain any values, just the listing of all the registry data  
I had to do the following  
$fff.GetEnumerator() | ForEach-Object{  
Get-ItemProperty -Path “registry::$(Convert-Path $\_.Value.PSPath)”|Select-Object -ExpandProperty ‘DisplayName’  
}
