`win_command` does not accept a `path` argument: [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win\_command\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_command_module.html)

I am guessing what you want is:

- name: Install wzmul  
win\_command: ‘{{ tempdir.path }}\WinZip.wzmul’

Thank, I tired of this option and now getting:

“changed”: false,  
“cmd”: “C:\Users\SA042ANS\AppData\Local\Temp\ansible.ej0o1gbb.pcowinzip\WinZip.wzmul”,  
“msg”: “Exception calling "CreateProcess" with "5" argument(s): "CreateProcessW() failed (%1 is not a valid Win32 application, Win32ErrorCode 193)"”,  
“rc”: 2  
}

Playbook task:

That’s because a wzmul is not a valid executable. It sounds like you need to call another exe that is designed run those scripts/files and pass in the path to your .wzmul file but I’m unsure what that may be.

A quick google search leads me to believe the file can just be dropped in the application install directory:

thank you but they are also saying: The WinZip.wzmul registration file must be downloaded separately from the WinZip installation file(s) and it will need to be copied to the **WinZip** folder described above. The file can be copied manually to the target folder or users can double click on the WinZip.wzmul file to register.
