Anyone facing as same issue as well?

Additional context

• Native package
• PDK 2.0.0
• Windows 10

Thank you for the report @saturbo. What terminal are you using on Windows 10? The default powershell.exe, Windows Terminal, or another option like cmder?

Hi jpogran I use the powershell 5.1.Below info for your reference.

Using PowerShell (by starting powershell.exe) on a newly created Windows 10 machine I was able to walk through the interview steps.

Are you sure you are not starting PDK from another terminal like git bash or Windows Terminal?

Did you install PDK from a package or through the ruby gem?

Yes, I run the powershell.exe to start the shell and run the pdk command but fail with the output I paste before. I install the package using the msi package.

[saturbo]

I re-install the PDK 2.0,0 and use choco to install the PDK once again , but still meet the same issue. I think it might not caused by the installation.

[jpogran]

I agree it looks like it's not caused by the installation. I'll try to summarize your steps for far, correct me if I'm wrong:

# opens powershell.exe
PS C:\Users\UserName>
PS C:\Users\UserName> cd D:\Work\VS\ni_puppet>
PS D:\Work\VS\ni_puppet> pdk new module <module_name>
# select inputs, errors at step 4

It's likely something to do with the interview template code, but I need some more information to try to repo:

1. Is this on a localized version of Windows? For example here
2. I noticed that the module was being created in the D:\ drive. Are there any special permissions on that drive that would prevent writes? Does this occur if you try to create it on the C:\ drive?
3. Can you paste a screenshot or copy the full text from an example session here so I can see the end to end interaction?
