On Windows in my cabal/config I have store-dir: D:\cabal\store. When I run:

PS C: test-cabal> cabal --version
cabal-install version 2.4.1.0
compiled using version 2.4.1.0 of the Cabal library
PS C: test-cabal> cabal new-install ascii-cows --lib --package-env .
...

I get an environment file as expected, but with the wrong package-db entry:

PS C: test-cabal> cat .\.ghc.environment.x86_64-mingw32-8.6.4
clear-package-db
global-package-db
package-db C:\Users\Ryan.Yates\AppData\Roaming\cabal\store\ghc-8.6.4\package.db

PS C: test-cabal> ghci
GHCi, version 8.6.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loaded package environment from C:\Users\Ryan.Yates\Desktop\test-cabal\.ghc.environment.x86_64-mingw32-8.6.4
ghc.exe: can't find a package database at C:\Users\Ryan.Yates\AppData\Roaming\cabal\store\ghc-8.6.4\package.db

Fixing that line in the environment file to package-db D:\cabal\store\ghc-8.6.4\package.db and it works as expected.
