Ansible: need help uninstalling Windows software via playbook

[Gerry Maddock]

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate any help/input to help me get this playbook working. I have been trying with win_package (win_package states the program is uninstalled, but its not). I have even tried powershell via win_shell. I think I'm really close to resolving this issue, but would love some help or input. Thanks in advance!

I'm running the playbook via:

ansible-playbook Uninstall_tst.yml --limit WJUMPV1T.contesso.com --extra-vars "var1=WinPcap" --ask-vault-pass

Below is my playbook:

---

# Powershell commands to uninstall software in windows (passed by Variables: --extra-vars "var1=Putty" would uninstall putty)

- name: Uninstall Program of your choice
  hosts: dev
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Get uninstall info for {{ var1 }}
      win_command: powershell.exe -
      args:
        stdin: Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*", "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '{{ var1 }}*'} | Select-Object DisplayName | foreach { $_.DisplayName }
        #stdin: Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*", "HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*" | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '{{ var1 }}*'} | Select-Object Uninstallstring | foreach { $_.UninstallString }
      register: prodid

    - debug:
       var: prodid.stdout_lines

    - name: Get uninstall info for {{ var1 }}

      register: undir

    - debug:
       var: undir.stdout_lines

    - name: Uninstall {{ var1 }}
      win_package:
