Uninstall software using win_package, with uninstall.exe file and without product_id

Good day to All.

Hoping someone can help me solve my uninstall issue in my playbook.

Sample Playbook:

  • name: Uninstall existing Collabnet Auto Update
    win_package:
    path: "C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion Client\uninst.exe
    product_id: auto
    arguments:
  • /S

state: absent
validate_certs: no
register: uninstall_collab_status

  • name: Uninstall GIT
    win_package:
    path: C:\Program Files\Git\unins000.exe
    product_id: auto
    arguments:
  • /SILENT
    state: absent
    register: uninstall_git_status

Result:
TASK [Uninstall Collabnet] *********************************
ok: [Host IP]

TASK [Uninstall GIT] ****************************************
ok: [Host IP]

Changed: False
When I checked the Host, Both software still exists.

Steps did in debugging:

  1. Tried to use Powershell commands to check Product ID of both softwares using

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$.Name -like ‘Git *’}
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$.Name -like ‘CollabNet *’}

But it doesn’t return any.

  1. Tried to use cmd in host, to check if silent uninstall works

uninst.exe /S
unins000.exe /SILENT

These commands work.

Question:
Can someone help me how uninstall these softwares using ansible?
