I needed to switch an Electron project from a native Windows 10 to a virtual Windows 10 machine on Mac OS with Parallels (Developer). The Nodejs and Yarn installation went smooth, but when I try to install / yarn the node modules of the project I get a bunch of errors which seem to be related to the directory structure of the virtual machine.

In addition CMD.EXE throws the error (summarized since it is in German) that UNC-Paths are not supported and that the path is set to Windows. And because of that I guess the following
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Windows\build.js'

I am not sue, if both problems have the same reason, the unsupported UNC-path and how to fix this. Any help appreciated.
Turning off Desktop/Folder sharing in Parallels plus installing node-sass manually with yarn add --dev node-sass solved the problem.
