Apify-cli create new actor error:

Hi everyone I'm trying to use the cli to create a new javascript, crawlee + cheerio project However I get the error :

 Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, mkdir 'C:\Crawlee-latest\Crawlee\my-new-actor\C:'

 Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, mkdir 'C:\Crawlee-latest\Crawlee\my-new-actor\C:'

It seems that is automatically adds a "C:" at the end of my current terminal path which I believe makes it to fail ( the installation of the project is not complete as I'm missing modules(like cheerio, etc) I have only crawlee and apify in my package.json file of the project. Currently using node@20.17.0 64-bit , apify-cli@0.20.6 , apify@3.2.5 , crawlee@3.11.2 and Windows 11

Hi @Teodor , Unfortunately we cannot reproduce your issue. Do you have a chance to testt on another computer? Can you try to use different Windows terminal?
