This appears to be a known issue and is referenced here:

https://github.com/bevry/docpad/issues/851

https://github.com/bevry/docpad/issues/488

The workaround described is to manually create the .docpad.cson file in your Windows/Users/[username]/ directory with the following (sample) content:

{
   name: "Your name"
   email: "Your email"
   username: "Your username"
   subscribed: true
   subscribeTryAgain: null
   tos: true
   identified: true
}

Once the file is created, start docpad as before.
