Hi all,

I’m using Ansible 2.0 but I have problem with:

- win\_file: can’t create new directory

sample playbook

```auto
- name: create Source directory
  win_file: path=C:\MySource state=directory

```

```auto

```

```auto
- win_service: can't manage windows service (no affect). The input name is the service name (service name is the same with service display name)

```

```auto

```

```auto
sample playbook:

```

Please disregard about the win\_file. I can make it run. My typo error!

For win\_service: put the value in “” then it works 😃

I do not get off with a strange sentence.  
I think that it is OK if I escape ""  
win\_file: path=“C:\MySource” state=directory
