Silverstripe Version: 4.2.1

Problem: composer create-project fails during installation

Hello,
I am trying to install SilverStripe 4 via the recommended composer way with:

composer create-project silverstripe/installer . 4.2.1

which results in the error below:

C:\webserver\devlabs\silverstripe-4\htdocs

“Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden” is german for “The system can’t find the given path”.

Am I missing something?

Thanks
