PS D:\mydir> get-wmiobject -class "win32reg_addremoveprograms" -namespace "root\cimv2" |select-object -property DisplayName
results in:
Get-WmiObject : Invalid class
At line:1 char:14
+ get-wmiobject <<<< -class "win32reg_addremoveprograms" -namespace "root\cimv
2" |select-object -property DisplayName

i can find 3 class in that namespace that contain the word 'add' -- and none of them is the one we're after.
get-wmiobject -namespace "root\CIMV2" -list | where {$_.__CLASS -like '*add*'}
returns
Win32_DeviceMemoryAddress
Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_ProcessAd...
Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Pro...
but no 'addremoveprograms'
it's fun to tinker though

According to a posting in the microsoft.public.windows.powershell users group you need System Management Server (SMS) software from Microsoft to use the Win32_addremomeprograms class. I found some information on SMS by doing a Google search. However the instruction for installing the sofwate were confusing so I didn't waste any more time trying to install SMS server and client software.

F.Y.C.
Here is the code to create the WMI class manualy as posted in the NG
I changed classname to win32_reg_ARP for this example ( as I have SMS ) :
###
set-content RegProgs.mof @'
#pragma namespace("\\\\.\\root\\cimv2")
instance of __Win32Provider as $Instprov
{
Name ="RegProv" ;
ClsID = "{fe9af5c0-d3b6-11ce-a5b6-00aa00680c3f}" ;
};
instance of __InstanceProviderRegistration
{
Provider =$InstProv;
SupportsPut =TRUE;
SupportsGet =TRUE;
SupportsDelete =FALSE;
SupportsEnumeration = TRUE;
};
[dynamic, provider("RegProv"),
ProviderClsid("{fe9af5c0-d3b6-11ce-a5b6-00aa00680c3f}"),ClassContext("local|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall")]
class win32reg_ARP
{
[key]
string ProdID;
[PropertyContext("DisplayName")]
string DisplayName;
[PropertyContext("Publisher")]
string Publisher;
[PropertyContext("DisplayVersion")]
string Version;
};
'@
mofcomp.exe RegProgs.mof
get-wmiobject Win32reg_arp
###
Enjoy,
