This will be because you are using the full result from win_shell which
includes things like changed, rc, stdout, stderr, etc. You need to do `-
win_shell: "{{ pingpath.stdout |trim }} 9.9.9.9" and say you want to use
the stdout value of the result which contains the full path. The | trim is
also needed to trim the newline the stdout result will have.
Putting that aside what is the purpose here, it's inefficient because you
are now using 2 tasks which involves setting up the connection and running
a command when you can just achieve it normally in one task and rely on the
normal PATH lookup. It also is more complicated because you might need to
quote the value if the path contains a space in it.
- win_command: ping.exe 9.9.9.9
