Windows 8.1 Node 6.11.0

@rasmuslundberg per my above comment - this is a bug in Ghost itself. I put a PR in to fix it (TryGhost/Ghost#8641), but until that’s merged / a new version is released there’s not much I can do on the CLI side.

Maybe the colon ( : ) in file name preventing to generate or save the file. As far as I know, colon ( : ) is not a valid charecter for file name in Windows.
