Github: failed to clone a repository

I installed Github for Windows and try to clone a repository but then I constantly receive the error: "failed to clone the repository abc"

I checked the log and this is an extract:

System.NotSupportedException: The given path's format is not supported. at System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.QuickDemand(FileIOPermissionAccess access, String fullPath, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath) at GitHub.Helpers.CommandHandler.SelectRepositoryByPath(String path)

Any help? Thanks
