New project created in wrong way

[bay007]

I want to create my app called "pr2" (ng new pr2) in the folder c:\Users\DELL\Documents\angular2 the process for creation stars and ends Successfully, but when try to navigate to forder pr2 the folder is missing.

If run the command ng new pr2 again I get the error Directory 'pr2' already exists.

Searching where is my project pr2, I found it in the path "c:\Users\DELL", 2 folders up.

I unnistalled angular-cli with the commands

npm cache clear

Installed again with the command
npm install -g @angular/cli
the behaviour is the same.

I cut and paste the folder c:\Users\DELL\pr2 to c:\Users\DELL\Documents\angular2\
I am in the path c:\Users\DELL\Documents\angular2\pr2 and ran the command
ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4201 --live-reload-port 49153
and the app works until now.

That happened because you had a node_modules or package.json up in c:\Users\DELL, which caused the CLI to identify that folder as the project root.

Dupe of #1079, fixed in #4901, released in rc.0.
