Unable to use cdk command on Windows

Describe the bug Unable to run any cdk command on Windows OS after the project is initialized.

To Reproduce mkdir temp cd temp cdk init --language=typescript cdk synth

The following error occurs

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Subprocess exited with error 1

If I open cdk.json and replace ‘/’ with ‘\’ then execute “cdk synth” again, it will succeed.

{
  "app": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\ts-node bin/temp.ts"
}

Expected behavior Executing “cdk synth” on Windows OS should work without having to edit the cdk.json file.

Version:

• OS: Windows 10
• Programming Language: Typescript
• CDK Version: 0.32.0

OS : WIndows Python : Python3 Local python returns a version via :

C:\Users\XXX>python --version
Python 3.7.5

python3 --version, returns nothing

When running cdk deploy I also saw a 9009 error, in my case this was a format of python call in cdk.json

This statement gave 9009 :

{
  "app": "python3 app.py"
}

Works :

{
  "app": "python app.py"
}

So, you need to adjust properly binary call in cdk.json
