Where is the setup-x86_64.exe located? By default commands run from win_command and win_shell are run in the user’s home directory which means it will be trying to execute C:\Users\pkmbuilder\setup-x86_64.exe. If the exe is located in another directory you will either have to reference the full/relative path from that user’s home directory or change the working directory on the task. To change the working directory to another path (the example is C:\temp) you can set the task as;
`
win_command: cmd.exe /c dir
args:
chdir: C:\temp
`
Note if you are using an Ansible version before 2.4, change “openssh,rsync,zip,vim,wget” to "openssh,rsync,zip,vim,wget". If you are on 2.4 keep it as it is
This way you aren’t reliant on a file being present on the server and are bypassing cmd which could obfuscate some results. You can also use win_package but you would need to determine the product id before hand but doing so would give you some idempotency.
Not sure if either of these are the answer but a couple of things you can try..
Try using win_shell instead of win_command. I think it may handle args differently (because it is running inside a shell).
Another thing you could try is using with_items to pass each of the packages you are installing separately, thereby avoiding the comma in your command line. Probably a bit slower but if it works it might be good enough for you to move on to the next thing.
