Ansible folk

I have a package that I want Ansible to download and install on my host computer. After the download, the next step in the installation process is a configure - first step in the configure process is to respond to the question: “Do you accept the license?”.

If host box was Linux I could use the expect module. But my host is a Windows box. What is the Ansible **Windows** equivalent of expect?

Thanks  
Tony

I don know of an expect equivalent, but worth checking to see if your installer has a /quiet or unattended installation command line option.

If it doesn't, go back to the installer creator and ask for one, or ask how they automatically install new builds.

Hope this helps,
