Error installing Chocolatey via Ansible on Windows

Question

I have a problem installing Chocolatey and Chocolatey packages using Ansible on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything worked fine on Windows Server 2012 R2 (it has built-in PowerShell v3.0).

I had a problem running the PowerShell scripts in the Ansible documentation, but I ran Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned, which helped. I installed Windows PowerShell 3.0 so Ansible could run. Now, when I run the playbook, I have this error:

failed: [192.168.1.1] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

After second run, I have a different error:

failed: [192.168.1.1] => {"changed": false, "failed": true}
msg: The specified module 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\chocolatey\chocInstall\tools\chocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyInstaller.psm1' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

I noticed that Ansible has a problem unpacking Chocolatey from %TEMP% to %PROGRAMDATA%. So, after running chocolateyInstall.ps1 from %TEMP%\chocolatey\helpers (I think it's good path) I have this error:

failed: [192.168.1.1] => {"changed": false, "choco_error_cmd": "choco.exe list --local-only chocolatey", "choco_error_log": "",
"failed": true} msg: Error checking installation status for chocolatey

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

I need to automate the installation and configuration tools such as: jdk, tomcat, firefox, etc. Here is an example of my playbook:

---
- hosts: windows
  vars:
    java:
      JAVA_HOME: "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_76"
  tasks:
#   INSTALL FIREFOX
    - name: install_firefox
      win_chocolatey:
        name: firefox -y
        state: present
#   INSTALL AND SET JAVA_HOME
    - name: install_and_set_java_home
      win_chocolatey:
        name: jdk7 -y
        version: 7.0.76
        environment: java
        state: present

Answer 1

I have modified my playbook, now I run it only once but I have the error (same as earlier) about choco installation. If it helps for someone here is the solution for ignoring failure in playbook:

---
- hosts: windows
  tasks:
#   INSTALL CHOCO
    - name: install_chocolatey
      win_chocolatey:
        name: chocolatey -y
        state: present
      ignore_errors: yes
#   INSTALL FIREFOX
    - name: install_firefox
      win_chocolatey:
        name: firefox -y
        state: present
.
.
.

I hope it will help ;)
