I'm guessing here that you are getting bitten by the \t part of c:\temp
being interpreted as a tab character.
try
- name: Config file
win_template: src=templates/config.j2 dest='C:\temp\test.conf'
or if you prefer double quotes:
- name: Config file
win_template: src=templates/config.j2 dest="C:\\temp\\test.conf"
(note the \\ as windows path separator):
actually may need to be
- name: Config file
win_template: "src=templates/config.j2 dest=C:\\temp\\test.conf"
Hope this helps,
Jon
