Hi, I am trying some windows modules. My test environment below : - Control machine : CentOS 6.6 x86\_64 , Ansible version : v2.0.0 - Remote machine : Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard I found the win\_unzip module document then I tried the following. # Install PSCX to use for extracting a gz file   - name: Grab PSCX msi     win\_get\_url:       url: '[http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959](http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959)’       dest: 'C:\pscx.msi'   - name: Install PSCX     win\_msi:       path: 'C:\pscx.msi'   - name: Unzip gz log     win\_unzip:       src: "C:\Logs\application-error-logs.gz"       dest: "C:\ExtractedLogs\application-error-logs" However , I saw that the win\_get\_url failed to get PSCX.msi.

Also when I use a browser to get this file on remote machine, it was success. Could you give me some advice? Regards, Takeshi.K ---

Hello, I resolved by myself for this problem. I have tried two workarounds. I found that a win\_get\_url is not supported authentication http proxy. ( I use authentication http proxy of my office ) After I modified to add authentication http proxy by manual for the win\_get\_url.ps1 file I can success to run this modules. Also , there is problem in "[http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959"](http://download-codeplex.sec.s-msft.com/Download/Release?ProjectName=pscx&DownloadId=923562&FileTime=130585918034470000&Build=20959"); , this module got the top download page for .exe". Therefore , I created an another download url. Takeshi.K
