Versions

Observed behavior

Running ng new some-app in c:\www has the following output:

PS C:\www> ng new some-app

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'C:\C\www\some-app'
ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'C:\C\www\some-app'

Notice the path mentioned in the error C:\C\www\... instead of C:\www\...

Trying with the --directory flag has the same result. If I try an absolute path, like ng new some-app --directory='c:/www' even appends another c: at the end:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'C:\C\www\c:'
ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'C:\C\www\c:'

Also, if I try c:\some\path - with \ instead of /, like we usually work on Windows, I get something like:

Error: Schematic input does not validate against the Schema
Errors:
  .directory should match format "path"

@hansl Just tested 6.0.0-beta.3 and it’s working. Thank you!

@SaabirMohamed --service-worker is available since 1.6.something I believe. Anyway, you definitely have it in the latest 1.7.0 stable.
