Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just ran into this issue too.

Everything worked fine on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, but the same command on Windows 8.1 fails with the same error.

I'm using --no-admin, and have write access to the root and local folders.

This seems to be a Windows 8.1 (maybe 8 as well) issue.

I would be happy to provide any further information about this, but currently the command line method is useless on Windows 8.1 unless you have admin privileges.

Thanks,
  Kyle
