[ansible-project] win_package how can it know package has been installed when product_id is not specified
Hi everyone, About win_package, in the official document, it mentions: product_id value is ignored if path is set to a local accesible file path and the package is not an exe. So, if I want to install MSI package, and I specify the path to a local accessible file path, then I don't need to set product_id, correct ? If I don't set product_id, how it can know if the package has been installed? by searching for the InstallSource in registry? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

[ansible-project] win_package
Dear All, I am getting a very weird result while using win_package, It is succeeding and no error is visible on ansible command prompt however the package is not installed while checking manually . We are able to install notepad++ successfully but other application setup.exe is having issue with no error . What could be the reason and how it can be resolved ? Any help is much appreciated .

[ansible-project] win_package and check_mode
Hello,
I have a question about running win_package in check_mode.
My playbook (part of it):
- name: Copy Splunk Forwarder MSI
win_copy:
src: "{{ splunk_forwarder_distro }}"
dest: "{{ splunk_forwarder_distro_local }}"
force: yes
remote_src: no
- name: Install Splunk Forwarder
win_package:
expected_return_code: 0,3010
state: present
arguments: "{{ splunk_forwarder_arguments }}"
path: "{{ splunk_forwarder_distro_local }}"
When I run it in check_mode, the first task will work correctly and say
that it would copy the file.
The second task fails since the file in path is missing.
I do not want to set *check_mode:no* for the first task and copy the file
in check_mode just to have win_package working.
What is the best way to make win_package working in check_mode if the file
in path is missing?
Thank you,
- Igor

[ansible-project] win_package
Hi,
Fairly new to Ansible, but I am just finishing a fairly extensive course
on Linux Academy. I have some good use cases... the first one is
configuring windows VMs to have a number of packages installed
automatically. Currently I can uninstall old versions of java and install
the most current version of java on a number of VMs.
I have a problem with the install thought that I can't seem to put my
finger on, but have reproduced several times now specifically on windows
2016 servers and possibly on windows 2012.
These VMs are automatically put on the domain when they are provisioned.
We are an engineering shop and we add all domain users to the local
administrator group as any engineer can logon to any VM as administrator.
These are engineering clusters only.
I have configured Kerberos and it works fine in general, however when I try
to use win_package to install from a network share I have problems.
- name: Install Java from network share
win_package:
path: \\fileserver.mycorp.local\share\java\JavaSetup8u161.exe
product_id: '{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F32180161F0}'
state: present
arguments: /s
user_name: MYCORP\myuser
user_password: secretpassword
it fails with permissions
"failed to connect network drive with credentials: Access is denied"
I am a member of domain admins, and administrators... I can logon to these
systems and execute the package from PS console and it works fine, but not
using win_package
If I change the user from myuser to administrator, then it works. It seems
like this is to do with ansible as I can execute it from console as me
fine, but if anyone has any advice on what the problem might be, I would
sure appreciate it as this is kind of stumbling block to move on to a full
configuration that I am trying to achieve.
Thanks
Bill

[ansible-project] win_package with no path in 2.3.2
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?

[ansible-project] win_package unable to install .exe Chart Director
Hello, I am trying to install Chart Director which is an .exe file with
ansible. I am trying to use win_package to do the install as I have already
checked for the registries in the uninstall directory
(HKLM:Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall)
after doing a manual install. Heres my playbook:
- name: install
win_package:
name: install chartdir
path: C:\Windows\setup_4.0.exe
product_id: '{00065AC0-1AEC-4AB2-B5C3-79FBB228A9A1}' #taken from
the HKML path above after the manual install
state: present
After I run the playbook, my playbook just sits there and no information is
spewed out with -.
Chart Director version im trying to install is 4.0.
Manually, all the InstallShield wizard is 'Next', 'Next', 'Next with no
other user input. Any help would be appreciated

[ansible-project] win_package installation of git
Hi, i'm using ansible 2.1.1.0 on ubuntu 16.04. Problem that I found is that I can't install any package using win_package . I'm trying to install git on windows 7 host. playbook part: - name: Installation of git x64 win_package: name: GIT path: "https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.9.2.windows.1/Git-2.9.2-64-bit.exe"; product_id: "Git_is1" arguments: "/silent /GitAndUnixToolsOnPath" when: ansible_architecture == "64-bit" task freezes for eternity in this: TASK [Installation of git x64] * *task path: /home/user/devel.yml:14* I can't get any result from this. When I'm going on machine into temporary ansible folders. There is a win_package.ps1 . When I start it, it runs and install and get results from this. So in my opinion there will be error somewhere in the communication with the server?? other win_ tasks works fine (eg. win_file) I also tried installation from local path (in path: "c:\\install\\git.exe") but it is the same. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

[ansible-project] win_package product_id
I am currently going through and installing all of the various software that is needed to provision our windows 7 machines. Unfortunately, when I attempt to install the latest Anaconda3 from continuum, I am unable to locate that products guid (product_id). It doesn't appear in the normal registry locations for 64 or 32 installs, in the wmic.exe get product powershell output or under a Get-ChildItem Win32_Product powershell output as well. I generated a guid, but after the program installed it failed since it was unable to locate the product_id to see if it was installed (the error was basically, the program appeared to install correctly, but it was unable to located the product_id). Since the product_id is required for this module is there anything I can do? I double the win_msi package would work due to the face that the anaconda3 installer is a installshield exe. I currently have a version by repackaging the exe as a msi in AdminStudio, but that isn't ideal.
