I fixed the Primordials issue.

This is caused by an incompatibility between NodeJS v12 and graceful-fs.

The easiest fix is to download NVM for Windows and then run the following commands once installed:

nvm install 11.15.0
nvm use 11.15.0


Once your back on node 11 you should be able to run li create-project with no problems
