create-nx-workspace breaking in windows. again.

[binaryartifex]

Current Behavior

because nx just flat refuses to build new projects for windows outside of the hard drive the OS is on, im forced to create my workspace on my OS hdd then move it over to my hard drive of choice. that worked well until just recently when i started getting the same errors on the OS hdd as i did on secondary ones. It just exits with Error Code 1 and a path to a generated log file.

Expected Behavior

creating a new project.

[Cammisuli]

I couldn't reproduce this fully on my machine. Running create-nx-workspace on the drive with the host OS worked fine, but trying to install on a separate disk failed. #18753 should fix the secondary drive issue though.
