Re: RM5576: Improve error messaging if the storage and log directories cannot be created

Hi Dave

I have tested the logic on Mac OSX but not on Windows. The "*pwd*" module
is not available on windows hence Jenkins build is failing.
Attached is the patch to fix for Windows OS. I have used the "*getpass*"
module for Windows.

Please review it. If looks good I'll commit the code.
