@s-jain-cognam RC3 has just been released which should fix the path issue. @shivenmian can you cross check and let me know if we need further Windows fix to be included in RC4?

[shivenmian]

@cortinico yep, I had tested RC3 last week and things work fine for me too, so your PR is good. I had a look at the actual fix you made in DependencyUtils.kt and toURI() is better than the slash replacement I was trying. We can also probably close #34878 since that is similar.
