Nx create workspace (React Standalone App) is not working in Windows while using --pm=yarn

[siddharthOtr]

Current Behavior

Create react standalone app

node version : 18 (using nvm)

I am creating this in D drive of my computer (in C drive its working properly)

npx create-nx-workspace@latest myreactapp --preset=react-standalone --packageManager=yarn

This command results into the following :

1. Which bundler would you like to use? => Vite
2. Test runner to use for end to end (E2E) tests => None
3. Default stylesheet format => SASS
4. Do you want Nx Cloud to make your CI fast? => Skip for now

• Installing dependencies with yarn
• Creating your workspace in myreactapp ( not completed )

NX Failed to create a workspace.

After running command and selecting all the options workspace should be created successfully.

Hey! Thanks for the report. I just wanted to let you know that I've been able to reproduce this and am digging into what could be the root cause... it seems like something is going wrong during the preinstall step.
