Playbook command on windows machine

[aaron.t...@total.care]

Good morning,

I am running Ansible 2.0 on my Debian host machine.  I have successfully connected to my windows server 2008 m via ping and other types of playbooks.

I am currently attempting to run a playbook that grabs a program off of a shared network folder and installs it on the desired windows machine, but i get:

fatal: [GP1-LAB-OPSTST2]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "The given Path (S:\\ClamWin\\clamwin-0.99.1-setup.exe) could not be found", "name": "S:\\ClamWin\\clamwin-0.99.1-setup.exe"}

That is clearly the path.

 

My playbook looks like this:

---    

- name: Install Clamwin

  hosts: WindowsOS

  tasks:

     - name: Install ClamWin

       win_package:

        path="S:\\ClamWin\clamwin-0.99.1-setup.exe"

        product_id="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ClamWin Free Antivirus_is1"

        Arguments="/install /passive /norestart"

Any ideas on what i am doing wrong as far as the syntax goes?

Just get rid of the quotes and double-backslashes altogether and use standard YAML syntax (instead of Ansible key=value) to get some of the extra parsers out of the way:

- name: Install Clamwin

  hosts: WindowsOS

  tasks:

     - name: Install ClamWin

       win_package:

        path: S:\ClamWin\clamwin-0.99.1-setup.exe

        product_id: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ClamWin Free Antivirus_is1

        arguments: /install /passive /norestart

Drive mapping will also most likely not work- for now, you'll need to use kerberos delegation or use the user/pass args to win_package and direct UNC path.
