sc is a powershell alias for 'set-content' If you change your raw command to
raw: sc.exe .... it will probably work. Better still install nssm (which is a service manager) and use win_nssm module. There is also a win_service_configure module if you prefer for creating modules but it hasn't been merged into ansible yet. Its here - https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/1115 perhaps you could test it?
