To install a Windows package using Ansible

Support EXE software package ansible module, collected 2:
Win_package (this time use this)
Official Document: Http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_package_module.html
Win_chocolatey
Official Document: Http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_chocolatey_module.html

For example, install the vc2013 (32-bit) package Vcredist_x86.exe:

1. Since the Win_package module needs to be product_id, it is necessary to confirm the product_id and find the location:
   32-bit program: Hklm:software\wow6432node\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
   64-bit program: Hklm:software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
   Note: HKLM is the abbreviation for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Install Vcredist_x86.exe manually to get product_id:
{13a4ee12-23ea-3371-91ee-efb36ddfff3e}
