Js-ipfs: jsipfs init failing in Windows

[Ntmf]

• Version:
  js-ipfs version: 0.26.0

---

• Platform:
  Windows 10 64-bit

• Subsystem:
  interface-datastore

Type: Bug

Severity: High

Description: When running "jsipfs init" I am getting an Invalid Key error. I thought it might be because of the difference in backslashes and forward slashes where it is being initialized, but my attempts at resolving this failed. Below is the output after running the init command:

initializing ipfs node at C:\Users\rober/.jsipfs

Steps to reproduce the error: Run "jsipfs init" in windows 10.

Hi @asyphus, Windows support only starts at v0.27 coming out soon https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/1095

Until 0.27 has been released, it's always useful if you could try the
latest code from the master branch on git. Some additional testing is
always welcome!
