Windows Installation: Files installed to WSL instead of Windows file system

[hbiaou]

Problem Description

I am using Windows 11 with WSL installed. When I run the standard Agent-OS installation command, the files get installed to WSL instead of the Windows file system.

Solution that worked for me

Run the setup script in Git Bash instead of PowerShell or Command prompt:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/buildermethods/agent-os/main/setup.sh | bash

Suggested Documentation Improvement

Consider adding these Windows-specific instructions to the installation docs to help users avoid this confusion.

I'm also dealing with this on Win11 (have created a discussion entry). I installed manually. Have you been able to run the workflow after that?

Ok here's my latest update after a couple of hours in Cursor. NOTE: I did this in Ask mode not Agent

• It appears Cursor can't access files outside of the project root (something about sandbox?) so having a global .agent-os/instructions and .agent-os/standards folder didn't work. Once I moved these folders to the project's root @analyse-product worked
• Re step 4: Customize Generated Documentation I couldn't get Cursor to write the .agent-os/product files (overview.md, roadmap and tech-stack). There was a message that "As I cannot create files or directories myself, I will generate the content for the core product documentation. Please create a new directory .agent-os/product/ and then create the files below within it." There was an "Apply" button which didn't do anything. I got to the end manually but was impressed this was all done automatically in Claude
