Unable to `pnpm create`

[canadaduane]

This may be related to #737 since it involves pnpm.

When trying to create a new project using the new (as of pnpm v6.17.0) "create" command, I see the following error:

pnpm create vite conference2
Packages: +6

Packages are hard linked from the content-addressable store to the virtual store.

(I believe the above command uses https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-vite if it's relevant)

@canadaduane That's very odd! The error shown in the middle should only happen if something calls the volta-shim binary directly and by name. The main way I could see that happening is if something looked up one of the shims (like npm) and resolved the symlink before executing it. However, from what I can tell looking at both pnpm create and create-vite, nothing is doing anything like that.

Let me know if there's any information I can add to help diagnose the cause.

@canadaduane if you're still using both Volta and pnpm, do you know if this is happening now that we have experimental pnpm support?
