win_chocolatey issue

[SurferL]

I'm not sure if this is a win_chocolatey issue, or an issue with the maintainers of the chocolatey installation (using Ansible 2.4.1.0)

However, I'm having issues with installing git.install using win_chocolatey (when I have a long list of chocolatey packages to install)...

- name: win | Install chocolatey components

  win_chocolatey:

    name: "{{ item.package_name }}"

    allow_empty_checksums: yes

  with_items: "{{ chocolately_packages }}"

  become_method: runas

chocolately_packages:

  - package_name: git.install

  - package_name: visualstudio2017buildtools

  - package_name: visualstudio2017-workload-vctools 

with the error being:

vsphere: "Using Git LFS",

vsphere: "Installing 64-bit git.install...",

vsphere: "git.install has been installed.",

vsphere: "VERBOSE: Trying local and machine (x32 & x64) Uninstall keys",

vsphere: ],

vsphere: "command": "choco.exe install -v --no-progress -y git.install --timeout 2700 --failonunfound --allow-empty-checksums",

vsphere: "failed": true,

vsphere: "item": {

vsphere: "package_name": "git.install"

vsphere: },

vsphere: "msg": "Error installing package 'git.install'",

vsphere: "rc": 1,

Is this an issue with the package itself or something to do with win_chocolatey?

What's weird is that it sometimes does work without any issues 1 out of 10 times...
