I'm trying to install Oracle Client 12c on a Windows Server 2016 via Ansible.

I have tried various options to install the client:

Option 1

  - name: "Install Oracle Client"

  win_command: "C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -showProgress -silent -responseFile C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\response\client.rsp"

The error code I get is:

fatal: [windoze]: FAILED! => {

"changed": true, 

"cmd": "C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -showProgress -silent -responseFile C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\response\client.rsp", 

"delta": "0:00:10.592896", 

"end": "2018-11-22 12:34:33.774009", 

"msg": "non-zero return code", 

"rc": 1, 

"start": "2018-11-22 12:34:23.181113", 

"stderr": "", 

"stderr_lines": , 

"stdout": "rn Exit code of OUI process 1=", 

"stdout_lines": [

    "", 

    " Exit code of OUI process 1="

]

}

Option 2

- name: "Install Oracle Client"

  win_package:

    path: C:TempSoftwareOracle-Clientclientsetup.exe

    creates_path: C:appclient_1

    arguments:

    - "-silent -noconsole -waitforcompletion -responseFile C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\response\client.rsp"

    state: present

The error I get is:

fatal: [windoze]: FAILED! => {

"changed": false, 

"exit_code": 1, 

"msg": "unexpected rc from install  C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\setup.exe: see rc, stdout and stderr for more details", 

"rc": 1, 

"reboot_required": false, 

"restart_required": false, 

"stderr": "", 

"stderr_lines": , 

"stdout": "rn Exit code of OUI process 1=", 

"stdout_lines": [

    "", 

    " Exit code of OUI process 1="

]

}

Option 3

- name: "Install Oracle Client"

  win_shell: "C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\setup.exe -silent -waitforcompletion -nowelcome -noconfig -debug -force -responseFile C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\response\client.rsp"

The result is different this time where the RC is 1, but it doesn't actually install anything on the server

changed: [windoze] => {

"changed": true, 

"cmd": "C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\setup.exe -silent -waitforcompletion -nowelcome -noconfig -debug -force -responseFile C:\Temp\Software\Oracle-Client\client\response\client.rsp", 

"delta": "0:00:09.554881", 

"end": "2018-11-22 12:51:00.633519", 

"rc": 0, 

"start": "2018-11-22 12:50:51.078638", 

"stderr": "", 

"stderr_lines": , 

"stdout": "rn Exit code of OUI process 1=", 

"stdout_lines": [

    "", 

    " Exit code of OUI process 1="

]

}

Each of the commands above work manually on the server, so I know that it is not an issue with the commands themselves. It appears that a java process starts when the installer is run which causes this issue when invoked via Ansible.
Does anyone know how I can successfully install this via Ansible?

I encountered a similar issue installing the 12c client on Red Hat.
As Matthew has described, the installation completes, but the exit code is 1 due to a prerequisite failure. In my case, it was an optional dependency.
I don't particularly like this solution, but if the installation is definitely successful, you can try adding the following argument to the command:

-ignoreSysPrereqs For ignoring the results of the system prerequisite checks.

Even am facing the same issue here.please help me out.

Error:
"changed": false,
"exit_code": 259,
"rc": 259,
"reboot_required": false,
"restart_required": false
}

STDOUT:

Exit code of OUI process 259=

MSG:

unexpected rc from install C:Oracleclientsetup.exe: see rc, stdout and stderr for more details

Manually working for me fine in windows server 2016
