Im trying to run preprod node . steps i followed :
1- downloaded these files : https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/preprod/
2- run this : cardano-node.exe run --topology ./configuration/cardano/topology.json --database-path ./db --port 3001 --config ./configuration/cardano/config.json --socket-path .\pipe\cardano-node and
but i get this error : 
doesnt happen with mainnet or old dead testnet .... any idea ?
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
