spago init does not work for Windows 10

[Bruce-Hall-git]

I know that you made a fix recently to "solve" this issue for the latest version of Windows (Windows 11). Specifically, you merged your fixes for #1308 a few days ago. I tested your changes on a Windows 11 machine and, while they don't work for a 'git bash' environment, they do seem to work for a PowerShell environment.

However, your fix doesn't seem to solve the problem for Windows 10, for either 'git bash' or PowerShell. Here is the feedback from both environments under Windows 10:

git bash

spago init

throw util.fromLeft(step3);

Node.js v23.3.0

I suppose one advantage here is that the failure seems to identical using both shell environments so perhaps at least the problem is independent of the shell used. Hopefully, that at least helps narrow the search for a fix/work-around.

Thanks for reporting @Bruce-Hall-git. Unfortunately I am out of my depth here, as I don't use Windows myself, and just applied the fix that was recommended by the Node report; I would appreciate if you (or anyone else affected by this) could look into a proper fix for this!

@Bruce-Hall-git I just noticed that it seems like you used the released version of Spago - that did not include the recent fixes. I just released a new version 0.93.42, would be great if you could give it a try!

I just tried out version 0.93.42 on my Windows 10 machine and it works (under PowerShell). Thanks for fixing it!

You're welcome!
