Answer 1

Error Message

Error:Could not open initscript class cache for initialization script 
    'C:\Users\Dexter\AppData\Local\Temp\asLocalRepo10.gradle' 
    (C:\Users\Dexter\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\asLocalRepo10_d10e66d3o7exs19wwq4uj2zhv
    \InitScript\initscript)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Dexter\.gradle\caches\2.2.1\scripts\
    asLocalRepo10_d10e66d3o7exs19wwq4uj2zhv\InitScript\initscript\cache.properties 
    (The system cannot find the file specified)`

The most important parts of this error message are

- Could not open initscript class cache
- asLocalRepo10_d10e66d3o7exs19wwq4uj2zhv

So

• Let _XXX_ = asLocalRepo10_d10e66d3o7exs19wwq4uj2zhv
• Let _USER_ = Dexter
• Let _GRADLE_ = 2.2.1

Solution

Delete C:\Users\_USER_\.gradle\caches\_GRADLE_\scripts\_XXX_\InitScript\initscript\cache.properties.lock

Does this not work?

Then you have to find out the root solution. This is probably due to a corrupt IDE. Try installing another copy of Android Studio on your system.

Note: You can have multiple copies of Android Studio on your system. Here is the latest Preview. If you check the notes on the page, you can see what you need to do to install a new version on AS.

Let us know if this works...if not, we can try to elimate other possible issues
