Get-ItemProperty inside a loop

I have a collection of type Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey Example:

$arr = Get-ChildItem HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

The 3rd element contains the property I am interested in. I access it using:

$arr[3] | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "MyProgram*"}

This works fine. Now I am trying to loop over the collection (index number is not known):

$arr | ForEach-Object { Get-ItemProperty $_ | Where-Object {$_.DisplayNAme -like "MyProgram*"}

Returns the error: "Cannot find path because it does not exist".

How can I display the same output as $arr[3] | ... using a loop?

What am I doing wrong?

Did you try to search for it?

Get-ItemProperty -Path REGISTRY::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* |
    Where-Object {$_.Displayname -like 'MyProgram*'}
