Run a playbook on AWX that uses the win_chocolatey module to install packages on a Windows host via WinRM

I am trying to run a playbook on my AWX server targeting my Windows host via WinRM, but it is failing.

  • I configured the inventory, credentials, hosts, projects, and templates (I am new to AWX, so I might have made a mistake, but I followed a tutorial, so I believe the setup is correct).
  • After that, I ran a playbook to ping the Windows host, and it worked. However, when I tried running another playbook using Chocolatey (used for Windows package installations), it failed with the error:
    “ERROR! unable to resolve module/action ‘community.windows.win_chocolatey’. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.”
  • I am using the latest version of AWX.
