This repository contains file paths that are invalid on Windows #321
Description
At least the files in https://github.com/icl-utk-edu/papi/tree/master/src/counter_analysis_toolkit/scripts/sample_data cannot be checked out on Windows due to colon characters in file names (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions):

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'
I see that Windows is not supported based on discussion at #153, but several projects include this project as a dependency, and at least being able to download the files should work.
