I am using ansible to install .exe files on windows machines. From CLI ansible (2.7.5), the module “win\_package” works largely as expected. The exe files are correctly installed after manual verification (IE I can launch the application) using the link as the path.

`name: Install Windows Package win_package: path: "{{ item }}" product_id: "{{ product_id|default('auto') }}" arguments: "{{ cmd_args }}" state: "{{ i_action }}" with_items: "{{ install_paths.split(',') }}"`

However, using this with AWX get unexpected results (applications were uninstalled prior to running in AWX):

`TASK [install_package_win : Install Windows Package] ***************************task path: {redacted} ok: [x.x.x.x] => {**"changed": false**, "reboot_required": false, "restart_required": false} META: ran handlers META: ran handlers`

The .exe files are NOT installed when run from AWX using the exact same parameters given to ansible on the CLI, but no error is given, just “OK” and “changed”: false.

Is AWX downloading a temp file, getting an rc of 0 for the download and then not trying to install? I can run again from the cli and get the correct output. As I stated I uninstalled the programs between runs. This happens if I select any new .exe file, not just one that had been previously installed and removed.
