[ansible-project] Re: win_package how can it know package has been installed when product_id is not specified
If it's an msi, the module can scan the package itself to get the product_id. If it's an exe then it would need the product_id or one of the creates_* options to try and add some idempotency.

[ansible-project] Re: win_package with no path in 2.3.2
Hi
The win_package module was overhauled in 2.4 and it now allows you to
uninstall a package when you just specify the product id. In the end you
should be able to run just
- win_package:
> product_id: '{7D7C80AF-58D6-4C3F-912B-8B5B4D50A71B}'
> state: absent
This works the way you describe, when you don't specify a path it tries to
find the UninstallString in that key. If it exists it should just run
msiexec.exe /x {7D7C80AF-58D6-4C3F-912B-8B5B4D50A71B} /qn /norestart. You
can always add the newer version of the module but putting it in your
ANSIBLE_LIBRARY path. The URL for the newest version
is
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/windows/win_package.ps1,
otherwise you can just check out the latest devel version and try it from
there.
Thanks
Jordan

[ansible-project] Re: win_package unable to install .exe Chart Director
If they used nsis to package try /sd
I think it is reasonable to ask the vendor to provide a silent installation
option too. Point out that it is in their interest too - if you can
automate installation, then doing automated testing against all supported
versions of an operating system is easier.
Hope this helps,
Jon

[ansible-project] Re: win_package - missing product id error
Yes, I have hit this with notepad++. I think it hangs because a dialog is prompting the user for some input. I think there's a chocolatey package for it, so probably the easiest way to get round it is to use chocolatey. I think there's a zip file version as well if you don't mind scripting a bit more of the installation. Otherwise I would suggest raising an issue with the notepad++ developers. Having a fully unattended installer is not an unreasonable thing to ask for and likely the devs could make use of such a thing in their testing. Let us know how you get on.

Changed my playbook to the following but it seems like it stalls and doesnt

tasks:

It seems to stick at the following output for a long time. I can see from
the target box that powershell.exe is running as is the notepad installer
itself.
Is there something else I am missing in the above playbook?

[ansible-project] Re: win_package - missing product id error
You basically need the id, as that's what gets checked for idempodency. So if you put in something wrong it will attempt to install on every run. You'll find the correct key in the uninstall node in the registry.

[ansible-project] Re: win_package uninstall example?
Ansible's a pretty thin wrapper around the platform capabilities-
installing/uninstalling software on Windows is tricky, as every installer
is a special snowflake, and many assume that there's a user sitting there
to answer dialogs.
That said, I know Sliverlight fully supports unattended install/uninstall-
have a look at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/8/d/78da8ec9-8801-42e5-89e5-3809386f1316/Silverlight%20Deployment%20Guide.doc
I suspect the switch you're looking for is "/qu" (silent uninstall).

Disabling UAC will have no effect. Any session coming in thru WinRM is by
default elevated.
As Jon writes, some packages are simply difficult/super-hard/impossible to
uninstall in an unattended way.

[ansible-project] Re: win_package uninstall example?
Hi,
Although I've not tried uninstalling silverlight, I've certainly found some
other things to be as difficult to uninstall as you seem to be above.
A lot of installers seem to have the assumption that there will be someone
sitting there at a GUI answering questions.
I wound up using a brute force script to remove a particular version of
java a little while back - the uninstallation just refused to work in a
fully unattended manner (something that seems to have been fixed with the
java 8 versions I've hit so far).
Generally though, unless its something very simple, newer stuff seems to be
better at being installed and uninstalled in a fully unattended manner.
Its definitely worth poking suppliers about this too - fully automated
install and uninstall is good for them to as they can automate their
testing better after all.
You asked about interactive services. I may have explained better during
my talk - the audio is available here -
https://www.ansible.com/ansible-2-windows - however the short version is
long ago it was perfectly possible to write windows services which also
interacted with the user via the system tray and by display forms. Such
interactive services ran on the first gui session that was started, known
as the console session but this caused security vulnerabilities. Its
probably much better explained here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatter_attack - but more recent versions of
windows have isolated the session which services run in from the sessions
that ordinary interactive users log into, hence the need for Interactive
Service Detection and the need to switch between the console session and
user session so you can see the GUI of interactive services. The most
recent versions of windows default to not allowing Interactive Services
(presumably the thinking is that enough time has passed now for apps to
have been re-written so that the GUI components exist in a separate user
space program which communicates with the service via the service message
api).

[ansible-project] Re: win_package uninstall example?
Uninstalling Windows packages via Ansible is hard. Is this normal? I
feeling like I'm missing something fundamental using Ansible to manage
Windows.
Here's my playbook.
- name: disable UAC pop up for Administrators
win_regedit:
key: HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
value: ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin
data:
datatype: dword
- name: remove packages (win_package)
win_package: >
name="Microsoft Silverlight"
path="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Silverlight\\sllauncher.exe"
product_id="{89F4137D-6C26-4A84-BDB8-2E5A4BB71E00}"
state="absent"
The task hangs and eventually timeout. Started to get desperate and added
these plays:
- name: disallow interactive services
win_regedit:
key: HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
value: NoInteractiveServices
data: 0001
datatype: dword
- name: stop Interactive Services Detection
win_service:
name: 'UI0Detect'
start_mode: manual
state: stopped
Still the uninstall hangs and times out.
When I try uninstalling Silverlight via:
msiexec /uninstall "{89F4137D-6C26-4A84-BDB8-2E5A4BB71E00}" /l
C:\logs\zzz.log
I get the "Windows Installer" dialog prompting to confirm the uninstall.
Click "Yes" and Silverlight is uninstalled. Nothing of much value in the
C:\logs\zzz.log file.
msiexec /uninstall "{89F4137D-6C26-4A84-BDB8-2E5A4BB71E00}" /l
C:\logs\zzz.log \quiet
Uninstalls without any dialog. Nothing of much value in the logs.
How do I duplicate this uninstall with win_package?
I cannot seem to get win_msi to work either.
I am brute forcing things with script :-(
- name: remove packages (powershell script)
script: files/remove-package.ps1
remote-package.ps1
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Filter "IdentifyingNumber =

[ansible-project] Re: win_package uninstall example?
My guess would be the (un)installer is hanging as its asking the user for
info, which won't ever get supplied because there's no gui and eventually
you hit a timeout or one of the winrm quota limits
You could try using raw to run msiexec with switches to write to a log file
and see what info there is in the logs.
Also depending on the user you are running as, you may not have permissions
to make changes to C:\Program Files\ - its more locked down in later
versions of windows that it used to be long ago. This may not apply if you
are running as administrator, but you might need to turn off UAC prompting
for Administrators, which you can do by tweaking the registry:
HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
set
ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin
to 0 to turn off and 5 to turn back on again (at least on s2012 R2)
Don't know if you have seen this but I put some tips for installing stuff
on windows in my AnsibleFest London presentation which is available here:
http://www.slideshare.net/jhawkesworth/ansible-20-windows-and-no-powershell-this-year-i-promise-ansiblefest-london-2016
Hope this helps,

Thank you for the example.
I'm testing win_package to remove Silverlight and after 15 minutes of
waiting Ansible has not returned.
Here is the task I'm using.

Yes adding

[ansible-project] Re: win_package product_id
Interesting. So following your advice, the value in
HKLM:\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall is Python 3.5*.1
(Anaconda3 2.5.0 64-bit) *and lets say we run:
- name: install conda
win_package:
path: '.\\Desktop\\CondaInstall.exe'
product_id: 'Python 3.5.1 (Anaconda3 2.5.0 64-bit)'
arguments: "/S /D=..\\Anaconda3"
When the package is already installed, the task executes as expected and
reports no change in state.
When the package is *not* installed, one would expect for the package to be
installed. Instead, the module fails and reports the
$LocalizedData.PostValidationError
- Package from {0} was installed, but the specified ProductId and/or
Name does not match package details
It seems to be failing somewhere around Line 925
in
win_package with the Get-ProductEntry in the Set-TargetResource function.
The odd thing is, when I pull out Validate-StandardArguments and
Get-ProductEntry functions, they act as expected. i.e.
- Validate-StandardArguments ensures that the path exists, reports that
the product_id is not a guid
and sets the $identifyingNumber to the product_id.
- Get-ProductEntry then takes the parsed $identifyingNumber form
Validate-StandardArguments and returns the $keyLocation for the product_id
(either 32bit or 64bit uninstall registry keys)
- Set-TargetResource then tests the resource, notices that the installer
is an exe
and starts the process as requested by the supplied arguments. After
install the function should then check if the $Ensure state is set to
'Present' (default condition), then it checks to see if the value returned
from Get-ProductEntry exists (program was installed.
Unfortunately, it fails to install the exe. I did notice that the process
briefly appears in the task manager, then immediately following the failure
notice from ansible, drops away. Perhaps the process fails
to correctly start with the correct arguments?

[ansible-project] Re: win_package arguments format
I probably misunderstood. You run the installer manually once to generate
the iss file right? And then on subsequent installs you can reference the
iss to have a unattended installation?
In any case, the following should probably also work:
arguments: "-s -f1 setup.iss"
My point is simply that although you tell PowerShell about files in the
current dir by using dot-slash notation (.\file.iss) that's not meaning you
should use the same format when telling setup.exe about the same file's
direction. PowerShell will just send whatever arguments you supply to the
installer, which is why dot-slash won't work.
Glad you got it working.

When the appropriate command line format for the reference file is
supplied, the installer creates a setup.txt in the installers directory
with various other information. Unfortunately, using the an absolute path
with forward or back slashes does not appear to work for the ansible
arguments as no setup.txt is created.

Your pathing for "setup.iss" is probably wrong. PowerShell takes a
"dot-backslash" approach when using the shell interactively, but that
doesn't mean you should do the same when supplying absolute/relative paths
to the ansible module. Also, PowerShell supports forward slashes, so feel
free to use them instead, so you don't have to escape them.
I would assume you would use something like:
- name: install software
win_package:
path: "C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/Software/setup.exe"
product_id: {guid}
arguments: '-s -f1 "C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/Software/setup.iss" ' (i
