How to list product info with wmic?

I already tried several examples found on web about how list some info of a product using wmic but until now withou sucess.

My last attempt that can be see below was based on code of this answer, but comes a error saying:

No Instance(s) Available

@echo off
for /f "skip=1 delims==" %%a in (
     'wmic product where "Name like 'Java'" get name /format:table'
) do (
   for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%# in ("%%a") do  set PROD=%%a
) 
echo %PROD%

pause

There is solution to this?

You need to use some wildcard(s) with like WQL operator to determine whether or not a given character string matches a specified pattern, e.g. as follows:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "usebackq skip=1 delims==" %%a in (
    `wmic product where "Name like 'Java%%'" get name /format:table`
) do (
   for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%# in ("%%a") do  (
     set "PROD=%%~#"
     echo !PROD!
   )
)
echo PROD (final value)=%PROD%

Sample output:

Java 8 Update 151
Java 8 Update 151 (64-bit)
Java Auto Updater
PROD (final value)=Java Auto Updater
