On windows you have to use \ instead of /, like:

FileDirectory default / '..\vvv'

But IMO it's better to let Squeak do the right thing:

FileDirectory default / '..' / 'vvv'
or
FileDirectory default containingDirectory / 'vvv'

Try this (note that this is for Cog 17, so the excluded plugins list 
should be updated for newer versions):

| rootDirectory |
rootDirectory := FileDirectory default containingDirectory.
(VMMaker
 	generate: CoInterpreter
 	to: (rootDirectory / 'src') fullName
 	platformDir: (rootDirectory / 'platforms') fullName
 	excluding:#(BrokenPlugin IA32ABIPluginSimulator SlangTestPlugin TestOSAPlugin))
