Fail to deploy component, npm error

Describe the bug

I have followed the get started steps, however the component fails to deploy. I tried the same on my mac and it work. It may be a problem with windows.

Steps to reproduce

1. npx create-next-app

2. npx serverless create --template aws-nodejs

3. Updated serveless.yml to:

myNextApp:
  component: "@sls-next/serverless-component@1.17.0"

1. npx serverless

Had the same problem and could only solve with a simple workaround.

Just create an empty folder within the same path as the --prefix of npm install. In your case you would need to create this folder C:\Users\Miguel Neto\.serverless\components\registry\npm\@sls-next\serverless-component@1.17.0

After this you can run serverless again and it should work

Followed the advice of @samir-araujo and it worked for me. Created empty folder at .serverless\components\registry\npm\@sls-next\serverless-component@1.17.0 and was able to run npx serverless successfully. Thanks.
