 * The message reveals the problem:
 * Failed creating folder: C:\xampp\htdocs/store/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/
   absC:/xampp/htdocs/store/wp-content/plugins/webp-express/test
 * The path should not contain “C:/”.
    It must be removed. I don’t have Windows 
   to test on. Somebody else must fix Windows related issues.

 * What should be the expected result? It should be ‘C:\xampp\htdocs/store/wp-content/
   webp-express/webp-images/abs/test’?. i will try to fix it up, maybe replacing
   one function on windows should fix this problem.
