[Bug?]: Can't create new redwoodjs project if user name has space (windows)

[mk48]

What's not working?

unfortunately my username "kumaran sony" has space in it (windows 11). I just tried to create a new(my first) redwoodjs project and I couldn't. Please see the below screenshot.

OS: windows 11
node: v16.17.0
yarn : 1.22.19

How do we reproduce the bug?

1. Create a new user account in windows with space in it.
2. login with that new user.
3. create a new redwoodjs project.

What's your environment? (If it applies)

This is a problem with Yarn rather than Redwood. (I have the same issue with "Jan Henning".)

You'll need to create a new folder that is used for yarn cache/packages. Refer to this and this issue for solutions.
