Cannot add local box in WSL

[Crisfole]

After finally packing up a box for use on windows in the WSL I went to add the box and got a bunch of red text. It worked from git bash, so I do not have debug output for you.

Expected behavior

The box gets added.

Actual behavior

Angry messages about failing to create folders with windows paths.

Steps to reproduce

1. Execute command from output above with hyperv box packaged by Packer (also on WSL via symlink, which works great except colors)

Hi there. Is the problem that the box cannot be added when you are running with WSL, but can be added when you are running outside the WSL? Can you also please run the box add command you show in the description with the --debug flag and provide a gist of the output?

Thanks!

[Crisfole]

Correct, I added the box from git bash. I can't really re execute the code since I reset to factory...

If you can reproduce this in the future, please open a new issue and provide debug output. Otherwise I'm going to close this. Thanks!
