Hi all,
I’m a complete no0b with Ansible, so sorry if I’m overlooking anything obvious. It seems that arguments I’m sending to Windows modules are not being acknowledged. With win_chocolatey, I’m getting a “missing required arguments: name” error. Similarly this occurs with win_msi, but with the path argument. Running win_ping returns successfully, so I am able to execute remote commands on the client via Ansible.
