host_list cannot accept a JSON string. It expects either a CSV string of hosts, the path to an INI formatted file, or a path to a script that can be executed to return the JSON you are trying to pass directly to host_list. On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, Idan null wrote: > Hello

[ansible-project] Re: win_package uninstall example?

Ansible's a pretty thin wrapper around the platform capabilities- installing/uninstalling software on Windows is tricky, as every installer is a special snowflake, and many assume that there's a user sitting there to answer dialogs. That said, I know Sliverlight fully supports unattended
