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?
