Hi  
I am having an issue in installing an application using ansible automation. I tried to deploy an application from ansible server to the windows virtual machine in the same vnet. I tried to install git.exe and notepad++.exe files into the windows virtual machine using ansibleplaybooks.when i run the command " ansible-playbook -i /home/ansibleuser01/ansibleplaybooks/inventory/inventory.yml /home/ansibleuser01/ansibleplaybooks/noteapp.yml.  
It creates a VM, It creates a folder named software, downloads the .exe zip file into the folder. It unzips the file and the below screen appears and it stops(as shown in the attachment). The code is as shared below.

I think it needs some admin rights to install the application. Please advice what to do.
