win_package installation of git

[Tomas Pekarovic]

Hi, 

 i'm using ansible 2.1.1.0 on ubuntu 16.04.

Problem that I found is that I can't install any package using win_package .

I'm trying to install git on windows 7 host.

playbook part:

    - name: Installation of git x64

      win_package:

        name: GIT

        path: "https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.9.2.windows.1/Git-2.9.2-64-bit.exe"

        product_id: "Git_is1"

        arguments: "/silent /GitAndUnixToolsOnPath"

      when: ansible_architecture == "64-bit"

task freezes for eternity in this:

TASK [Installation of git x64] *************************************************

task path: /home/user/devel.yml:14

I can't get any result from this.

When I'm going on machine into temporary ansible folders. There is a win_package.ps1 . When I start it, it runs and install and get results from this. 

So in my opinion there will be error somewhere in the communication with the server??

 

other win_<command> tasks works fine (eg.  win_file)

I also tried installation from local path (in path: "c:\\install\\git.exe") but it is the same.

Can somebody help me with this?

Thanks in advance

I use the win_chocolatey module for as much as I can, installing git works great with it. win_package relies on installation packages that behave nicely, and they don't always do that..
