Not sure why it is complaining here, maybe an invisble control character. Anyway you are best off doing the following;
- name: Installing the license raw: '"C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\db2licm" -a "{{ temp_area }}\{{ db2_lic_file }}"' Raw in Windows is not truly raw as it is run in a PowerShell shell so the standard quoting rules apply. Having C:\'Progam Files'\.. wouldn't work as that isn't valid PowerShell. The example above will quote that whole string as well as your -a arg in case it has a space in it. You can also consider using win_command for this if you want to talk advantage of things like become, environment, async and some of the other options it adds.
