Windows 10 Installation Error

It appears that the installer is trying to create a directory that happens to be invalid.

@thatguychrisw sorry to hear that. We'll look into this. In the meantime, you can try the zipped version of Particle Dev App

I get the same error when I try to extract it, but after skipping the folders with invalid names it does work.
