Synced_folder in Vagrant on Windows 8.1?

Question

virtual box

Hello everybody!
The problem is this: when trying to vagrant up, it gives the answer:

There is a syntax error in the following Vagrantfile. The syntax error message is reproduced below for convenience:
C:/sites/test/Vagrantfile:3: unterminated string meets end of file
C:/sites/test/Vagrantfile:3: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting keyword_end

Vagrantfile itself:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = 'debian'
  config.vm.synced_folder 'C:\sites\test\www\', '/home/vagrant/www/'
  config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
end

If you remove the line about folder synchronization, then the machine starts normally. The same config works on a poppy, with the folder path that is relevant for the makosi, of course.
First tried on 1.7.2, then tried 1.6.5.
What's wrong? :)

Answer 1

Put the normal slashes for the path. Or shield them.
