Vagrant won't start on Windows CMD (Errno::EACCES)

Question

So I am using the Vagrant Box gotten from this site: https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki/edX-Developer-Stack

I set it up per the instructions (Although modified, since I am using Windows CMD), and when I type in vagrant up, I get this output:

I'm not too sure what this means, or if it has anything to do with Ruby. When I ran this on Cygwin, it worked fine, but for testing purposes, I have to do this on Windows CMD.

I have also tried disabling my anti-virus, and running CMD as administrator. Neither worked.

Answer 1

I had a similar issue. What I found is that the "My Documents" name is actually an alias for the "Documents" folder. Try changing the path, substituting "Documents" for "My Documents".
