Hi all,

I have followed the instructions on Ansible docs on how to do a windows copy from local linux to remote windows.  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win\_copy\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_copy_module.html)

However i encounter error with no head nor tail what the issue is. I can confirm the script is able to find the app.zip file as when i changed the name to app2.zip, the ansible error thrown is unable to locate app2.zip file.

Error:

Hello Eric Tan,

Could you please run your playbook with -vvvv to see if there is any more exception information available and paste results here?

Thanks
