Hi,

I'm a first time Ansible user and have successfully tested connecting to 
Linux hosts using the ping module :-). I'm having problems with doing the 
same to a Windows Server 2008R2 host. I have followed the setup 
instructions at 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_setup.html and 
that all worked OK. When I try and connect I get the following error.

I seems like it can't find python, which is in C:\Program Files\Python3.7.5 
and in the path on the Windows box. 

ansible -m ping 192.168.230.3 -vvv

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks,
