Thank you very much for your reply, and here I my answers:
  * Does the directory show up when you do a *dir* command in projectdir ? It does not show up, although it says that there are 2 directories (see attachment).
Those two directories '.' & '..' are standard in every directory
  * Can you do anything on the *mysite* directory - can you rename it,
    or even delete it ? I can't - system cannot find the file specified.
Very odd - points to a an OS/disk problem to be honest - I am not sure Django is doing anything clever.
  * Can you see it in File explorer - No.
  * Can you manually create a directory in your *projectdir* ? - Yes, and it is displayed after command *dir*.
  * Can you create a different projectdir - and run *django-admin
    startproject mysite* in there ? - I tried creating it on different paths, both on C and D disk, but it was the same behavior.

What can I do now? :)


Have you tried write a small Python application that creates a directory :

         from os import mkdirs
         top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), name)
         mkdirs(top_dir)

Copy that to a python file called '*create_dir.py*' in your *projectdir* - and run it by this command '*python create_dir.py*'

One you run it you should have a new empty directory called 'python_created_me' - running the comand again should result in an error.

The reason for doing this is to check that the Python code that Django is using does work ok.

    Lets troubleshoot:

      * Does the directory show up when you do a *dir* command in
    projectdir ?
      * Can you do anything on the *mysite* directory - can you rename
    it,
        or even delete it ?
      * Can you see it in File explorer
      * Can you manually create a directory in your *projectdir* ?
      * Can you create a different projectdir - and run *django-admin
        startproject mysite* in there ?

    My gut feeling is that this is a diskdrive/OS type issue - rather
    than
    Django specific

    You may have a corrupted directory - or a bad section of disk; try
    the
    troubleshooting steps above first.
