             Summary: When installed in a nodejs dir that is on a path containing a '@', then cordova-create fails with the error: Could not install from (path_of_nodejs_modules) as it does not contain a package.json file (observable also from a call from quasar wrap cordova)
                 Key: CB-13590
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13590
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cordova-create
            Reporter: Lukas Plachy


The line https://github.com/apache/cordova-create/blob/53d5894c849193073e65727033e27c8d2e428ac8/index.js#L191 needs serious redesign. 

When one installs nodejs repository (containing the node_modules global repository, where the cordova is installed using the command 'npm install -g cordova') on such a path, that contains a '@' (at) such a for example 'D:\Directory1\@Directory2\nodejs', then the variable 'isNPM' is evaluated wrongly as 'true' and a complete wrong code blok is executed. When doing a 'cordova create' from a local copy, then the lines https://github.com/apache/cordova-create/blob/53d5894c849193073e65727033e27c8d2e428ac8/index.js#L193-L212 must NOT be run (or at least they throw an error when being called on a local directory)!!!!! But they run, when I have nodejs in a path containing '@'.

Im sorry, but myself I cannot guess what is the purpose of these lines and why they are evaluated based on the "@", but a "@" sign is a legal character in a directory name in Windows, so I expect that this should be reflected by the evaluation of isNPM. Thankx much to those, who might have some clue how to edit this code appropriately, since I would not dare to do so.
