Uninstall not working for notepad++

[quillypowers]

I tried using the below configuration to uninstall any instances of notepad++ using either msi or exe, but both throw the null exception seen below. SoftwareInstall Notepadpp { Ensure = "Absent" Type = "exe" Name = "Notepad++*" }

error

There was a bug where a missing product ID would cause an error in the resource. I'm pushing a new version to PSGallery.

Hm.. getting fips errs, it did work though. VERBOSE: [S150RCMCWEB1-R]: [[SoftwareInstall]Notepadpp] Run command line: "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S VERBOSE: [S150RCMCWEB1-R]: [[SoftwareInstall]Notepadpp] Package uninstall was completed. VERBOSE: [S150RCMCWEB1-R]: LCM: [ End Set ] [[SoftwareInstall]Notepadpp] in 1.3120 seconds. PowerShell DSC resource DSC_SoftwareInstallResource failed to execute Set-TargetResource functionality with error message: Exception calling ".ctor" with "0" argument(s): "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms."

I'll dig in further tomorrow. Thanks again.

Can you share your DSC configuration block, I can try to reproduce the issue.
