Hello.

I have a problem with win_regedit.

My code:

`

  • name: Windows Update.
    hosts: windows
    tasks:
  • name: RebootRelaunchTimeout.
    win_regedit:
    key: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
    value: RebootRelaunchTimeout
    data: 000005a0
    datatype: dword
    `

When error:

Which ansible version are you using?
I recently fixed an error with handling change detection for dword type, so might be worth trying 2.1.1 RC5 if you can.

I’m sorry. I forgot to write a version of the program. Unfortunately I have installed version 2.0.0.2. Today I will try to install the new version.
