I'm currently using Ansible 2.3.2, and I want to uninstall a program from a
group of computers. According to the UninstallString from the registry, it
just uses msiexec /x with a certain product ID. Therefore, I'd think it
should be very trivial to uninstall using win_package.
However, my problem is that the program that was installed didn't come with
an MSI and I can't find any MSIs for it within the filesystem. I did,
however, confirm that msiexec can uninstall the program with the ProductID.
Since it requires a path, I was hoping that using an arbitrary path (in
this case to a binary that would do nothing when called) it might work, but
it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here's what I tried:
win_package:
path: 'C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe'
product_id: '{7D7C80AF-58D6-4C3F-912B-8B5B4D50A71B}'
state: absent
However, that didn't seem to do the trick. What would be my best bet here?
