Your pathing for "setup.iss" is probably wrong. PowerShell takes a
"dot-backslash" approach when using the shell interactively, but that
doesn't mean you should do the same when supplying absolute/relative paths
to the ansible module. Also, PowerShell supports forward slashes, so feel
free to use them instead, so you don't have to escape them.
I would assume you would use something like:
- name: install software
win_package:
path: "C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/Software/setup.exe"
product_id: {guid}
arguments: '-s -f1 "C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/Software/setup.iss" ' (i
added a space between the last double-quote and single-quote just for
clarification. Should probably be removed in prod)
