    How do you get the GUID of an installed package?

    I'm ultimately trying to write a bash script or python script to get this information to automate the process and uninstalling the package using PackageManagerCLI.exe

    thank you

    Hi MRubio,

    I'm afraid, this tool does not provide "Get-Package-Info" functionality.
    You can try to analyse to PackageDB SQLite database, see PACKAGE_INSTALLATIONS table, field 'cached_id'.
    Alternatively (that is however less reliable) check the entries in the FileStorage folder (this is a part of DB) which named in curly braces; they are essentially zipped package files and contain manifest file.

    Thank you for the reply, Digging around a little bit I found a file that being generated titled package.manifest.

    This seems to be a XML document with some info related to the package and in there there was an item with the ID.

    This turned out to work as the GUID I was looking for in my scripts.

    I don't know if that is something we are generating on our end or CODESYS is generating but it works for me.
