How do I install a windows package that installs itself into the users home profile?

Example, Slack

It installs into ansible\_env[‘USERPROFILE’]\AppData\Local\slack

The become\_method and become\_user when authenticating to Active Directory doesn’t seem to work.

That installer sounds like the way to go. The latest devel branch has made some changes with become so it works with NTLM and Kerberos authentication but going that route probably isn’t recommended as you would need to know the credentials for all the accounts you want to install slack on.
