Win32_Product: Installed MSI Products (WQL)

<#
.SYNOPSIS
    WQL reference: Installed MSI Products (Win32_Product).

.DESCRIPTION
    A minimal example of querying Win32_Product with a raw WQL SELECT
    statement via Get-CimInstance -Query — useful as a WMI Query
    Language reference, independent of any particular scripting
    language's WMI binding.

    The same query string works with Get-WmiObject -Query (older
    PowerShell), GetObject("winmgmts:...").ExecQuery(...) in VBScript
    or JScript, and ManagementObjectSearcher in C# — only the syntax
    around the query changes, not the WQL itself.

.EXAMPLE
    .\ProductQuery.ps1
