Powershell fun - Parsing for Protocols
I was looking for what protocols are registered by my installed AppX packages and figured out a 1-liner Powershell script to do it
powershell -c "foreach ($p in $(get-appxpackage)) { foreach ($n in (Get-AppxPackageManifest $p).package.applications.application.extensions.extension.protocol.name) { $n + ' -- ' + $p.packagefullname } }"
Hey, I never said it'd be pretty :-)
This dumps
Get-AppxPackageManifest : The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
At line:1 char:54
+ foreach ($p in $(get-appxpackage)) { foreach ($n in (Get-AppxPackageManifest $p) ...

Looks like one of the packages is missing its manifest. That's probably some incomplete VS project I've got laying around.
This isn't unique to protocols. Change the " .package...protocol.name" to whatever you're interested in. Most samples on the net are interested in the applications' id, i.e. ".package.applications.application.id"
P.S. Bonus points if you can tell me how to get that output in sorted order. I can't figure out where to stick the Sort-Object command
