windows powershell command to uninstall all versions of java except a specific version

Question

Windows powershell command to uninstall all versions of Java except a specific version. This command should work in windows 7 & above.

The following command uninstalls all versions. How do I modify the following in such a way that a specific version 8.0.770.3 does not uninstall.

gwmi Win32_Product -filter "name like 'Java%' AND vendor like 'Oracle%' AND (version like '[78].%' OR version like '1.[78].%')" | % { $_.Uninstall() }

Change the filtering of version.

gwmi Win32_Product -filter "name like 'Java%' AND vendor like 'Oracle%' AND
not version = '8.0.770.3'" | % { $_.Uninstall() }

Thanks much Martin! this did the trick.. can i run the same with command prompt ?. It would be very helpful if it works via cmd. powershell.exe "gwmi Win32_Product -filter "name like 'Java%' AND vendor like 'Oracle%' AND not version = '8.0.770.3'" | % { $_.Uninstall() }"

But you need to escape the ".. like this:

powershell.exe "gwmi Win32_Product -filter \"name like 'Java%' AND vendor like 'Oracle%' AND not version = '8.0.770.3'\" | % { $_.Uninstall() }"

.
