ok I got it working now with win_command but still having some errors
TASK [Install Vmware tools Silent]
**
task path: /home/tony/windows/download2.yml:15
Using module file
now no errors but its not getting installed as it would manually,
PLAY [testing win_get_url]
**
TASK [Gathering Facts]
I already tried the arguments. I know /s /v /qn works manually.
why does that work on ansible?

Hi,
Just a guess (I'm not a windows man)...Perhaps you need to do silent
install because you are not "desktop logged" when you use ansible.
Have a look here for some example (you need to look for the good ones
for your version, but you've got the idea)
but I got all the steps working except win_package,
There seems to be something wrong with execution.
I manually ran the setup.exe and works
