I can\'t figure for the life of me why exactly is it failing.. this is the exact error I am getting:

I had the same issue and i manage to fix it by disabling my AVAST Anti Virus. As well as my AVAST extension in the browser. Antivirus sometimes blocks your application. :) I hope it helps to anyone.
