Similar issue, but different error: https://github.com/ory/cli/issues/157

It looks like the problem is the syntax here on windows. Are you using cmd or powershell? Basically, the string needs to be correctly escaped, which is probably causing this problem.

[EcBen]

@aeneasr I thought it might have something to do with Windows. I'm actually using Cmder on Windows. So I believe that would be just a basic cmd console, not powershell.

[aeneasr]

On Windows it's probably:

ory patch oauth2-config project-uuid-here --replace "/strategies/access_token=\"opaque\""

[EcBen]

@aeneasr Yes, that format did work on Windows. Thanks! It would be nice if the ory --help for this showed the correct format on Windows.
