Describe the bug I attempted to run dependency-check on a folder that installs in C:. I reconfirmed this by trying to also scan Program Files with the same exception being thrown. I am unable to generate a log file, I received the same error.

consider escaping the command line argument - like one would need to do for anything containing spaces. Also, using forward slashes helps. Hopefully I get this right; I'm not often on a windows box:

dependency-check -o c:/Program\ Files/
