heroku toolbelt command issues

Question

I installed the Heroku Toolbelt following the instructions provided by RailsBridge's Installfest for Windows. I am running Windows 10 64-bit and the Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails provided by RailsBridge.

Each heroku command I attempt to input, be it 'version', 'login', or what have you, I get this:

heroku-cli: Adding dependencies... done
heroku-cli: Installing core plugins...Error reading plugin: heroku-cli addons.

Then I see a list of which plugins that there were reading errors for. The list is: heroku-apps; heroku-fork; heroku-git; heroku-local; heroku-run; heroku-status

Then:

ERROR: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Then it repeats this, adding dependencies, attempting to install core plugins, same reading plugin errors, but then after the runtime error runs again, it prints this:

! error getting commands pid 5052 exit 1

Previously, it was 'error getting commands pid 6912' or something like that. I looked around a bit and didn't see anything that specifically dealt with this, but I am sorry if I missed it before asking this question. I'm very new at this.

I would really appreciate any help or advice on how to correct this. I thank you very much ahead of time!

Edit: I now understand what pid is. Using another resource, I was told to check for the pid process in my task manager. I reran this process, got a different pid number, and searched for it in my task manager but to no avail. It isn't storing it.

I had the same problem and Heroku support team was quick to answer with:

can you delete ~/.heroku/heroku-cli and try again?

Next time you run a heroku command it will reinstall the toolbelt. Worked for me.

According to the support team it happened because:

It was a bug that was pushed yesterday we fixed this morning that some users ran into.

Good luck!
