hey Ansible group  
we are trying to set a registry value using win\_security\_policy

- name: Strong Session Key

win\_security\_policy:

section: Registry Values

key: RequireStrongKey

any value we try to set using Registry Values fails with the

Failed to import secedit.ini file from C:\Users\

anyone seen this before ?

the code works for other sections like system access and event audit without issue just the Registry Values sections fail

thanks  
Paul
