trying to use win_get_url and win_msi together

Hi, I am trying to write a playbook to download a msi file from the internet to my local disk and then use “win_msi” to install the msi application to my Windows client.

Bu when ever I run my playbook, I get an error,

failed: [host2] => {“failed”:true}
msg: Error downloading logserver.com/test.msi to C:\test.msi

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

I also read in one of the blogs that win_get_url works only for urls that start with “http://…” . Is that why my playbook fails?

Can you show us your playbook? - it does sound like a syntax error. You definitely need to specify an http url with win_get_url.
