Good morning all!  I'm fairly new to Ansible but I've been banging away at 
it for several weeks and feel like I'm getting a decent understanding of 
it.  However I've run into an issue I'm struggling with.  I have a playbook 
for Windows Server 2012 R2...95% of it works great.  But I'm stuck on 
literally the last item I need to add.  I'm trying to use the raw module to 
call and .exe and pass in some arguments.  The path to the .exe has some 
spaces, as does on of the arguments.  This is a rough approximation of what 
I'm trying to do looks like:

- name: Register database
  raw: '"C:\\Program Files\\Company 
Name\\Dir3\\dir4\name.name.name.name.exe" --setupServer 
--product=ProductName --dbDir="C:\\Program Files\\Company Name\\Dir3\dir4" 
--server=host\\Instance --user=username --password=*****'

FWIW those are single-quotes at the beginning and the end. I had issues 
getting the quotes "right" (still not 100% convinced they're healthy) but 
at this point the playbook at least runs (no trip-ups in the YAML parser) 
but I'm getting this:

"C:\Program is not recognized as in internal or external command..."

If I pull out the second bit with the path (the one for --dbDir=) I can get 
the .exe to run but I'm missing a required variable so it tanks.  I guess 
I'm screwing up something with the quoting but I can't figure out what the 
heck it is.  Could anyone give me a pointer or two here?

Thanks!
Matt
