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? ---

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: ```yaml - name: Install Intel compiler ansible.windows.win_package: path: c:\intel-fortran-compiler-2025.0.4.19_offline.exe arguments: --silent ``` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/a/af6a515fdf22252b2ecb0ef2129c6bd8d86ddea8.png) ---

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

Sure, i will mark it as solved and thanks for your support. i’ve added --eula accept in the argument, that worked for me. I referenced this document and tried. > **[(Completely) Silent install of Intel Fortran - MacOS & Windows](https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Completely-Silent-install-of-Intel-Fortran-MacOS-amp-Windows/td-p/1355289)** > > Hi - We are trying to install the Intel Fortran compiler silently, on Linux, MacOS and Windows. So far, the Linux silent install works fine, and we can install into an arbitrary directory. However, we're so far unable to install on MacOS or Windows... arguments: --silent --eula accept ---
