Issue with windows system: cannot open file './Scratch/tmp_1/maaslin2.log

[AlbertSL98]

Hi, I am trying to run Maaslin2 on Windows system using following command

Maaslin2(
input_data = otu.tab,
input_metadata = metadata,
output = 'C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\tmp'
#transform = "AST",
fixed_effects = c('HBP','X1','PA', 'age', 'dietscore'),
random_effects = c('study'),
#normalization = 'NONE',
plot_heatmap = F,
plot_scatter = F,
standardize = FALSE)

Where it fails due to:

Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
cannot open file './Scratch/tmp_1/maaslin2.log': No such file or directory

However, it works if I run it on linux system, so I am wandering whether Maaslin2 cannot run on Windows system
