bower install failed on windows

[blessanm86]

The bower install command is failing on windows. I did try using the command

bower cache clean

Here is the error I see in the console

bower jquery#>= 1.7.0 <= 2.1.0               extract archive.tar.gz

@Blessenm what is the output of bower cache clean? Seems to be a bower permissions problem. Is the folder C:\Users\blessenm\AppData\Local\Temp\blessenm-PC-blessenm\bower\ember-2300-HN9ToM present? If so can you delete it and try again?
