Hi It seems i need to wait a bit after the Visual studio installation. It stated as failed because it couldn’t remove the temporary install file (web install file) - VS was installed ! I’m using win\_package and i’m not interested in using the raw module since i need the win\_package capabilities. A workaround would be to have: if you can’t remove the file, it’s not a failure and keep going (which i don’t know how to do yet :)) ` task path: /ansible/scripts/vs2012.yaml:23 Using module file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/windows/win\_package.ps1 ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: ansible on PORT 5986 TO hasjrwts02 creating Kerberos CC at /tmp/tmpJ\_QHmz calling kinit for principal ansible kinit succeeded for principal ansible WINRM CONNECT: transport=kerberos endpoint=[https://hasjrwts02:5986/wsman](https://hasjrwts02:5986/wsman) WINRM OPEN SHELL: 23C2DB3A-DC34-4DA0-A019-7CD45579D735 EXEC (via pipeline wrapper) WINRM EXEC ‘PowerShell’ [‘-NoProfile’, ‘-NonInteractive’, ‘-ExecutionPolicy’, ‘Unrestricted’, ‘-’] WINRM RESULT u’\’ WINRM STDOUT WINRM STDERR An error occurred while creating the pipeline. - CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (🙂 , ParentContainsErrorRecordException - FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException Exception calling “Run” with “1” argument(s): “Exception calling “Invoke” with “0” argument(s): “The running command stopped because the preference variable “ErrorActionPreference” or common parameter is set to Stop: Cannot remove item C:\Users\ansible\r4muzag1.gdd: Access to the path ‘C:\Users\ansible\r4muzag1.gdd’ is denied.”” At line:47 char:5 - $output = $entrypoint.Run($payload) - ```auto ``` - CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (🙂 , ParentContainsErrorRecordException - FullyQualifiedErrorId : ScriptMethodRuntimeException WINRM CLOSE SHELL: 23C2DB3A-DC34-4DA0-A019-7CD45579D735 fatal: [hasjrwts02]: FAILED! =\> { “changed”: false, “module\_stderr”: “An error occurred while creating the pipeline.\r\n + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (🙂 , ParentContainsErrorRecordException\r\n + FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException\r\n \r\nException calling "Run" with "1" argument(s): "Exception calling "Invoke" with "0" argument(s): "The running command \r\nstopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Cannot remove item \r\nC:\Users\ansible\r4muzag1.gdd: Access to the path ‘C:\Users\ansible\r4muzag1.gdd’ is denied.""\r\nAt line:47 char:5\r\n+ $output = $entrypoint.Run($payload)\r\n+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \r\n + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (🙂 , ParentContainsErrorRecordException\r\n + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ScriptMethodRuntimeException\r\n \r\n”, “module\_stdout”: “”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”, “rc”: 1 } to retry, use: --limit @/ansible/scripts/vs2012.retry ` Any idea please 🙂 ? ---

I have successfully installed visual studio using win\_chocolatey in the past (with become escalating to run as local administrator). Might be worth trying that. I suspect running with become might fix your problem as clearly its upset about having access to `C:\\Users\\ansible\\r4muzag1.gdd` Hope this is some help, Jon ---

Seems there is no become in the win\_package module… ---

That's not how become works. You can set become: yes at the task and play level, not module level. ---

To avoid this issue and since my user is already admin on the server, i’ve just download the file first instead of installing over http url. Thanks! ---

+1 for Chocolatey. Way easier to manage updates and install software and it pulls straight from the vendor if you use an internet package versus your own chocolatey repository.
