Hi
I found the solution to my problem, using the win_shell module instead of
win_package, and using the 'start /wait' command:
- name: Install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
win_shell: 'start /wait
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe /install /quiet
/norestart'
args:
executable: cmd
Hope this helps someone else.
