I am working through using the built-in Package resource provider for Desired State Configuration and I am having issues with using .EXE files with it (not MSI).
I see no failures in Trace-xDscOperation and I also don't see any attempt at processing the package, nor any errors with the attempt.
.EXE don't have 'ProductId' as a property (not the GUID that an MSI has) so I am a little confused as to how to set this up properly.
All of the documented examples are with MSI packages, not EXE.
