Note

This module is part of the community.windows collection (version 1.13.0).

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.windows.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.windows.win_webpicmd.

• Must be installed and present in PATH (see chocolatey.chocolatey.win_chocolatey module; ‘webpicmd’ is the package name, and you must install ‘lessmsi’ first too)?
