There’s AFAIK no general way to handle this. If you have an installer file, than it may have command line options like /q for quiet or --silent or something similar.

Have you tried using win_package with it yet?
What application are you trying to install?

Hi,

Im trying to install Intel® Fortran Compiler: Offline exe in windows via ansible.

I ran the installer and here’s its CLI options, start using the --silent option and give it a try. You can run the program itself with ansible.windows.win_command or pass the options to ansible.windows.win_package, like so:

- name: Install Intel compiler
  ansible.windows.win_package:
    path: c:\intel-fortran-compiler-2025.0.4.19_offline.exe
    arguments: --silent

Cool! Can you mark the thread as solved? Also, how did you manage to accept the EULA? Was it a command line option?
