Known issue on Windows. No fix by now.

Can you work on a VM or with WSL?

You can take a look on this issue: #1281

I don't think it has something to do with Windows. This function doesn't work in Powershell and CMD but with Git Bash you can install strapi normally. Just look around for other cmd-type programs. Maybe even emulators will do it.

I don't consider Bash as Windows 😋

I mean if your going to use bash on windows, you might as well just use WSL and get all the benefits of linux.... lol.

I actually was running into the same, or a very similar problem. I was able to get the new project to create by bypassing the prompt and running the command with the cli arguments.

strapi new myApp --dbclient=mongo --dbhost=<host> --dbport=27017 --dbname=development --dbusername=admin --dbpassword=admin --dbssl=true --dbauth=admin

@jrasm91 in my case that also didn't work. I got same error as here -> #1355 (comment)

I came across your posts while searching for the same problem with my @feathers-plus/cli. This is what I've tracked down so far.

Yeoman uses queues to schedule prompts together, to schedule writing together, to schedule copy, json, tpl writes together. The prompting runs fine on Node10 including the prompting callback, but the writing task never gets started.

I've received no reponse to my issue from Yeoman yeoman/generator#1098 . No response for 14 days.
