On Debian and Mint desktop it fails to work with several errors.

ISO image is missing on host. and also it skips download.

Thanks for reporting - would you mind pasting the (relevant) Ansible logs, and version numbers you're using ? That 'll help troubleshooting.

@PeterMosmans I don't know if it helps, but I was having the same problem, for some reason it was not trying to download the ISO file. So I went to your code and remove this

    - name: Copy ISO file from guest to host
      copy:
        src: "{{ local_virtualbox_iso }}"
        dest: "{{ virtualbox_iso }}"
        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: "0644"
      when: local_virtualbox_iso is defined and virtualbox_iso is defined

    - name: Check if the ISO file is present on the host
      stat:
        path: "{{ virtualbox_iso }}"
      register: file_path
      ignore_errors: yes

    - name: Check if the CD is present on the host
      stat:
        path: "/dev/sr0"
      register: file_path
      ignore_errors: yes
      when: file_path.stat is not defined or not file_path.stat.exists

Then it started to work (it downloaded the file, and when I put the code back it went fine)

I don't know if it is because I don't have the cd-rom (/dev/sr0) it was thinking that it was 'okay' and was going to try to use it or something else.

I don't have the debug log (I'm learning Ansible) but I have some basic logs here, I don't know if it helps

If you need some more logs let me know how to enable and collect then so I can try to reproduce here.
