Hi Become isn't really a thing you can do on windows hosts (yet, I believe).
You'll most likely need administrative privileges for the user you are accessing the windows host as in order to install .msi files. I think the parameter needs to be 'creates' not 'create' If possible I'd recommend using win_package as in my experience it handles a wider variety of .msi files than the msi module. You can use the product_id to stop it re-attempting installing. You can find the product ids for anything you have installed by looking in the following locations in the registry: HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall or HKLM:SoftwareWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion\Uninstall On Friday, May 6, 2016 at 4:06:07 PM UTC+1, skinnedknuckles wrote: > > Management Node running: > Ansible 2.1 > Centos 7 > Remote Node running: > Windows 7 > Powershell 3 > > The playbook below appears to run without errors but nothing happens on > the remote node. > > *--- * > > > > *- hosts: windows tasks: - name: DiceTis Installer win_msi: > path="C:\\Users\\ads-6999\\Desktop\\SetupADS800DiceTIS.msi" > create="C\\Program Files\\SetupADS800DiceTIS\\ADS800DiceTIS.exe" > state=present * > > > As I understand the -sudo flag has been deprecated to the -become flag > which I tried to use as shown below > > > > > *--- - hosts: windows tasks: - name: DiceTis Installer* > * become: yes* > > * become_method: sudo win_msi: > path="C:\\Users\\ads-6999\\Desktop\\SetupADS800DiceTIS.msi" > create="C\\Program Files\\SetupADS800DiceTIS\\ADS800DiceTIS.exe" > state=present * > > but then I get the powershell error "The term sudo is not recognized as > the name of a cmdlet, function or operable program" > > Any ideas? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
