Installing software by exe in windows

Archives Ansible Project

Hi all,

I want to use ansible on some new Windows PC to install software.

I have used win_package, many of them are working perfectly.

For example:

  • name: ScreenCapturerRecorder
    win_package:
    path: D:\app\ScreenCapturerRecorder\Setup.Screen.Capturer.Recorder.v0.12.10.exe
    product_id: ScreenCapturerRecorder
    arguments: /silent
    state: present

However, some of the packages such as after effect, steam cannot be installed in the same way.

Do you guys have any way to do this.

With Thanks,
Tommy

I would recommend you look at using win_chocolatey to install packages, it does all the work for you so you don’t need to figure out the arguments for a silent installation. In saying that, win_package should still work just find for other installers, you just need to figure out what the silent install options are (or find an MSI which does that for you). Without any further details as to why Stream or After Effects is not installing we can’t help you too much there.

Thanks
