Unable to run .exe file

[Karthik Chandrashekar]

Hi everyone,

Need help in understanding below error message and how to fix it.

I am trying to run a .exe file using ansible tried ( raw, win_shell and win_command ) but, all end up throwing same error.

This sounds like the error you would get when using win_shell, please give us some yaml task examples you have tried.

Hi jordan,

Below is one of the sample task which works.

SUCCESS: 

win_file:

       path: C:\SystemManager\Supported_Files/{{ date }}_{{ name }}

       state: directory

FAILURE:

raw: C:\\SystemManager\\MASysMgr.exe -w C:\\SystemManager\\Migration\\Workflow\\Package_Creation_Workflow.smw -f C:\\SystemManager\\Supported_Files/{{ date }}_{{ name }}/{{ migrationnum }}_Input_Parameters.smp -l C:\\SystemManager\\Migration\\Log\\SysMgrMigration_{{ date }}.log

I have tried using it with quotes,escape characters,win_shell,win_command but, all of them end up with same error.
