not working on Windows

See original GitHub issue

No problems when running on Linux, but now I have to use Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter 64-bit. I’m using Anaconda 32-bit (Python), ModelSim Altera Started Edition, cocotb from git of version 1.0. Tried both MinGW 32-bit from Qt 5.6.0 installation and separate MinGW from SourceForge: the result is same, please see log:

@LinuxFanatic777 Are you using the v1.0 release of COCOTB or are you using the latest on the master branch? There has been a lot of work to get COCOTB to work on windows, but it is not in the v1.0 release. The latest master should work on windows.

I think the path of project.v is causing the issue. Is the cocotb folder located in a sensible location, eg. C:/cocotb ? Try running the ‘adder’ example first to get the system up and running
