Description

When creating a local client copy with knife configure client, it doesn't include any paths and assumes the default location of the client and validation keys.

Minimally viable configuration on Windows for a non-system-wide use:

log_level        :info
log_location     STDOUT
chef_server_url  'https://api.opscode.com/organizations/opstrain1'
validation_client_name 'opstrain1-validator'
client_key "#{ENV['HOME']}/chef/client.pem"
validation_key "#{ENV['HOME']}/chef/validation.pem"
file_cache_path "#{ENV['HOME']}/.chef/cache"

(This uses the local user home directory for the chef directory. This could be c:/chef as well.
