Your indentation is off. the word "tasks" is indented too far. Here is a
properly indented playbook:
---
- hosts: windows
tasks:
- name: test msi installer
win_msi:
path='C:/Home/ansmgr/documents/wixedit-0.7.5.msi'
creates='C:\Program Files (x86)\WixEdit\binaries\WixEdit'
state=present
There are many editors that should be able to perform syntax highlighting
on YAML, such as notepadd++ on Windows, Sublime on Mac. You can also use
something like: http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com
