The error message you get tells the story - % is used to escape some characters, so has, itself, to be escaped.

Swap the % with %25

WMI queries can be the more costly in respect to time required to process. If you are looking for software versions, 2 other approaches are leaner on the endpoint. There is a “regapp” method which only works for those aps that register an App Path (these are the ones you can run from the Start menu without knowing the full path of the executable).

Q: version of regapp "chrome.exe"
A: 98.0.4758.102
T: 1.253 ms
I: singular version

If the application isn’t a regapp, the you can pull the version from the registry in a fraction of the time it take to process a WMI query.

Q: unique values of (values "DisplayVersion" of keys whose (((it contains "chrome")) of (value "DisplayName" of it as string as lowercase) AND (exists value "Publisher" whose (it as string as lowercase contains "google") of it)) of keys "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" of (x32 registries ; x64 registries) as string)
A: 99.0.4844.51
T: 7.595 ms
I: plural string with multiplicity
