Windows `yarn create redwood app` fails when username has a space in it

See original GitHub issue

I ran the yarn create redwood-app ./redwoodblog from the tutorial and it failed with this error:

success Installed "create-redwood-app@0.2.5" with binaries:
      - create-redwood-app
'C:\Users\Fake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
error Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: C:\Users\Fake User\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\create-redwood-app
Arguments: ./redwoodblog
Directory: D:\Projects\Redwood
Output:

info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/create for documentation about this 
command.

I’m on Windows 10 and i believe the issue is due to the fact that C:\Users\ folder has a space in it due to my username.

The more I look into this it kind of seems to be a Yarn issue. Here is the related yarn Issue:

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/6630

EDIT: A fix for this is to set a different cache folder: yarn config set cache-folder D:/YarnCache yarn config set prefix D:/YarnCache

Sorry for the confusion.
