As the instructions already state, startingDirectory only accepts a Windows-style path. The example used a linux style path. Replaced forward slash '/' with escaped backslash '\' which is what was required for this to work on my system.

Using forward slashes should work. That's a windows-style path but with forward slashes so they don't need to be escaped.
Is that not working for you?
