but i get this error : 
doesnt happen with mainnet or old dead testnet .... any idea ?

user5566: it looks like your socket-path and the wrong facing slashes should be ./pipe/cardano-node.
Also not sure how you built your node but typically the socket path is in the DB folder so in your case ./db and typically socket is ./db/socket
