ttyd crashes on windows

[tech128]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run ttyd.win32.exe cmd
2. open browser and enter in the ip address:7681
3. ttyd exits with either "== CreateProcessW failed with error 267: The directory name is invalid." or just nothing at all

Expected behavior
Expected to see a command prompt in the browser when I connect to the port.

Screenshots
N / A

Environment:

• OS: Windows 10 and Windows 11
• Browser: Edge 121.0.2277.83 (Official build) (64-bit)

Additional context
I traced it with process monitor and see it tries to reference some weird directory with chinese characters for some odd reason. I created this directory but it still does not fix the crash. Something is causing the crash right when it tries to run the command.

It has nothing to do with ttyd, you may have other file named as cmd, trying using full path like:

ttyd.win32.exe C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Nope, still the same issue. I should have listed that in the report, but I figured you would look into it.

Just fyi, I'm not a noob who doesn't know if something is a bug or not.

If I post a report, trust me, it's a bug.

I go to great lengths to make sure its not really something I've done wrong somehow.

The error you encountered is returned from windows API, you may google it yourself.

Well I did more than that, I did a lot of testing against the current and older versions and found that version 1.7.3 works fine on both. This report shows my exact issue.

#1207

I would have found it if it had a better title.

Thank you for writing this software, I use it as a quick form of remote access and also works well when the customer is still using his machine.

i met the same problem @tech128
and i tried to set cwd like -w c:\ then it works ... therefore it is not a bug.
what i can suggest is that we may add a default cwd if not specified in source code.
