Good afternoon group.  
I would like to know if it is different to install .exe software in Windows environments? There is an inventory of .msi software, I would like to know if there is something different in the inventory configuration?

This is the error I am having. Would anyone know what the problem was?

The image below shows the configuration of my inventory.

When you use win\_package on a file that isn’t an .msi you need to provide the unique product\_id so the module can do it’s idempotency checks. Typically this is a GUID value as stored in the registry but it may be any other string the executable sets there’s really no common format for .exe installers. The win\_package docs state what registry paths are looked up for the product\_id as well as alternative options like creates\_path [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win\_package\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win_package_module.html).
