    #else
        char new_dir[] = "C:\\xyz";
    #endif

    // Create a directory under root called xyz and make it the current dir 

    if (mkdir(new_dir)) {
        lr_output_message ("Create directory %s failed", new_dir);
        return -1;
    }
    else
         lr_output_message ("Created new directory %s", new_dir);

    if (chdir(new_dir)) {
        lr_output_message ("Unable to change to dir %s", new_dir);
        return -1;
     }
    else
        lr_output_message ("Changed to new dir %s", new_dir);
        
    return 0;
