This is a simple problem to deal with, and it happens anytime you install packages and link them with react-native link on Windows. To solve this problem, just go to your settings.gradle file located at YourApp\android\settings.gradle the change all the backslashes \ to forward slashes /. so it should look like this:

include ':react-native-vector-icons'
project(':react-native-vector-icons').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/android')

Good luck!
