win_regedit?

[O haya]

Hi,

I am trying to use Ansible to change Windows registry using win_regedit.  I have this .yml:

- name: Change app compatibility

  hosts: windows

  gather_facts: false

  tasks:

    - name: do regedit

      win_regedit:

       key: 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags'

       value: '{2b9034f3-b661-4d36-a5ef-60ab5a711ace}'

       data: 00000004

       datatype: dword

But when I run it I get:

[root@centos65 ansible_test]# ansible-playbook doregedit.yml

ERROR: win_regedit is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

What is causing this error (and how to fix it)?

Do I have to do something additional to install the win_regedit module because it's an "extra"?

Thanks,

Jim

Hello Jim,

maybe you don't use version 2 of Ansible?

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/win_regedit_module.html

"New in version 2.0."

esco,

Oh.  I just checked and I have 1.92, which is what I got from yum install.

Is the only way to get version 2 is to build from source then?

Thanks!

Hi,

Now I remember why I didn't install from source.  I'll post a new thread about this...
