vagrant up fails with permission denied on file .vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local

Windows 7 Vagrant 1.8.1 Vagrant Host Manager 1.7.0

Attempting to vagrant up for the first time on Windows 7 (works fine on my Mac) - fails with a permission denied error: http://pastebin.com/54aB76YM (Line 42 onwards)

• I've added everyone to hosts file and given full control. I've done the same for the hosts.local file and lots of it's parent folders.
• I've run cmd as administrator and tried via that.
• I also get the same error if i just run vagrant hostmanager from the root of the project.

Not sure if it's an issue with /etc/hosts or the hosts.local file. Apologies if this is not the normal way to post an issue, i'm just the front-end guy getting lost with vagrant :)

The pastebin is no longer, can you please attach directly here, please?

[maxoys45]

Ah sorry about that, attached! vagrant.txt

[seth-reeser]

Can you please see what the permissions of the C:/Users/Max/.vagrant.d/tmp/hosts.local file is?

[maxoys45]

Hey - I'd already set the permissions for everyone, admin, system to all for that file and all parent folders with no luck. thanks though!

Try running del /f C:/Users/Max/.vagrant.d/plugins.json and rmdir /s /q C:/Users/Max/.vagrant.d/gems. Then re-install vagrant-hostmanager with an administrator command prompt.
