"Unexpected error: Something went wrong when creating folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\<project name>>

Version/Environment (if relevant):

This applies to CLI versions 3.x, 4.x, 5.2.x at least

Issue:

A user tries to Clone a project and they see an error:

Unexpected error: Something went wrong when creating folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\<project name>

They might also see:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\WINDOWS\system32\domino.log (Access is denied)

Root Cause:

This will occur if the user is running the CLI commands from within a directory where they do not have write permissions.

Resolution:

Run the commands from a directory where you have write permissions, you can either "cd" into a different directory or modify the permissions in the directory you are currently in.

Notes/Information:

On Windows your default running of cmd.exe might place you into system32 which typically isn't writeable.
