I have some vendor software where I am trying to uninstall (following their 
procedure) by obtaining the uninstall command and install location from the 
windows registry.  I do this by querying win_reg_stat and storing result in 
two facts.   I am then trying to execute the variable via win_shell and 
win_command in various guises but with no success.  Even stripping it back 
to the bare uninstall command with no parameters is proving difficult  eg


win_shell: "{{ uninstall }}" 
args:
    executable: cmd

or

win_command: "{{ uninstall}}"


Worth noting, the registry variable contain spaces in the directory path(eg 
C:\Program Files x86\blah\blah\uninstall).

I have tried various combinations of \", ' characters but seem 
unsuccessful.  

Anyone got a working example of executing a DOS command when defined as a 
variable with spaces in its directory path?

Thanks
Gareth
