I've never attempted to run Graphite on Windows, and it's not an officially supported platform. That said, it looks like a setup path issue wherein Carbon is hardcoded to use a UNIX-style directory path. Have you looked at the install steps in the following post? The author mentions changing that path to a Windows-style path before attempting to install Carbon.
