Unable to start the scaffold in Windows #133

I am not able to start the scaffold when running in native Windows. Get the same error using cmd.exe, Powershell as well as Git Bash. However it works on Debian running under WSL. Looks like a path handling issue.

I admit I haven't tested it in native Windows, only Debian and Mac. This path is obviously wrong due to the double drive letter:

C:\C:\Users\senan\projects\citizen\myapp\node_modules\citizen\util\templates\hooks\application.js

It looks like the scaffold is running, just not finding the file due to the bad path, so maybe I need to tweak how I'm deriving the file path so it works in Windows.
