Yes, Will is right, this is really a question for ansible-project.
However, it looks to me like you have an = where there should be a : in
log_path= "c:/temp/ansible_wu.txt"
should be
log_path: "C:/temp/ansible_wu.txt"
Single line ansible module calls can use the key=value key=value syntax,
but when you are using the multi-line yaml style syntax it needs to be key:
value
yamllint.com or a yaml-aware text editor can be a help when you are getting
used to writing playbooks.
All the best,
Jon
