Export list from RemoteApp Programs

Since I'm using Windows Server 2008 R2 Google wasn't helpful. What I need is an option to export (a list of) all "RemoteApp Programs". I'd prefer Powershell options/commands (V2 though), but all suggestions are welcome of course. I imported the remotedesktopservices module and I'm currently trying it via the RDS: drive, but at "RDS:\RemoteApp\RemoteAppProgramm> gci" the listing starts but is incredibly slow, like displaying one entry every 3-4 minutes. At this point I have to "kill" Powershell and start all over. Thank you!

Just use the built-in cmdlets to look at the registry for all installed apps. There are lots of examples of this all over the web. – postanote – 2020-01-14T21:32:51.313

There are in newer/later PS versions, but this is version 2.x. Unfortunately there aren't any and I can't import modules. I imported the mentioned "remotedesktopservices" module and that caused some issues. If I'm wrong, please correct me! – MaxMustemal – 2020-01-15T12:00:33.660

Putting this here since it is too long for the comment section.

You can do this with PowerShell v2, by just using the .Net namespace. This is also documented/blogged about and shown all over the web. A quick search of your use case.

'PowerShell v2 get a list of installed applications remotely'

Thank you for your feedback, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. In the "RemoteApp Manager" there is a section called "RemoteApp Programs". I need a way to export that list with all its details. – MaxMustemal – 2020-01-16T09:51:09.027

Well I figured it out and I feel stupid since it was kinda obvious. I simply selected all entries in "RemoteApp Program" and then (on the right side hand) I clicked "Export RemoteApp Settings" which creates a .tspub file. It basically an XML file (so I changed the extension to .xml) which I'm using now in Powershell to filter the info I need.
