Describe the bug
When attempting to use cocogitto on a self-hosted windows runner, the action will fail with the following error:

D:\GitHub\actions-runner_work_temp\3d7451bb-1855-4c7f-935b-ac2973a0bff8.sh: line 1: D:GitHubactions-runner_work_actionscocogittococogitto-actionv3.5/install.sh: No such file or directory
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

I noticed that the path to my install.sh is missing all of the directory separators ()
D:GitHubactions-runner_work_actionscocogittococogitto-actionv3.5/install.sh --> D:\GitHub\actions-runner_work_actions\cocogitto\cocogitto-action\v3.5/install.sh

I tried looking into the issue and found the following:
The error you’re encountering seems to be related to the way paths are handled in Windows. In Unix-based systems like Linux or MacOS, paths are typically defined with forward slashes (/), while in Windows, paths are typically defined with backslashes ().

The error message suggests that the backslashes () in the path are being removed, which is a common issue when scripts written for Unix-based systems are run on Windows. This is because the backslash () is an escape character in Unix-based systems, so it’s often removed or treated differently.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a windows-based self-hosted runner.
  2. In a project, have a github workflow that has the following:
    runs-on:
    • self-hosted
    • windows
  3. Create a workflow that you can run with at least these steps.
    • uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
      fetch-depth: 0 // aka ∞

    • name: Validate commits
      uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@v3.5
      with:
      check-latest-tag-only: true

  4. Attempt to run workflow.

Expected behavior
Cocogitto runs.

Additional context
D:\GitHub\actions-runner_work_actions\cocogitto\cocogitto-action\v3.5 does exist on the self-hosted runner.
The install.sh script located there indicates that it is not targeting windows, as the cocogitto references unknown-linux.

#!/bin/sh

CUR_DIR=$(pwd)
VERSION=5.4.0
TAR="cocogitto-$VERSION-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz"
BIN_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin"

mkdir -p "$BIN_DIR"
cd "$BIN_DIR" || exit
curl -OL https://github.com/cocogitto/cocogitto/releases/download/"$VERSION"/"$TAR"
tar xfz $TAR
cd "$CUR_DIR" || exit

I would expect this to be cocogitto-6.0.1-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.tar.gz if I am understanding how the install system works on self-hosted runners.

I sent this same bug to the actions page. Wasn't certain where to put it since I don't know if there is some interaction with this main repo causing it to fail. Feel free to close as it's on the actions page as well. cocogitto/cocogitto-action#17
