vagrant does not come up

Been struggling bringing up homestead. I just followed Laravel Fundemantals and read the homestead documentation. But there seems to be lack of information about where to run some of the commands and as a result I have homestead directories in several places. By the way I am running on Windows 7.

Finally I found the "Introducing Laravel Homestead 1.0" which was helpful but as I execute the steps I am now getting the error

"vm:

• The host path of the shared folder is missing: ~/Code"

I changed ~/Code to c:/Code and I still get the same error.

I know my Homestead.YAML file is correct with the right folders mapping.

folders: - map: c:/Code to: /home/vagrant/Code

Not sure what to do about it. If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
