Please note, if you are using Homestead or a different Vagrantfile format, we may be unable to assist with your issue. Try to reproduce the issue using a vanilla Vagrantfile first.

Same issue here.

There is an old issue for this but not sure if it was ever fixed: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6766

I had the same issue and found a fix for it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35455391/vagrant-on-windows-error-cannot-load-such-file-nokogiri

Relevant fix below:

Change the nokogiri reference in: C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\specifications\vagrant-1.8.1.gemspec C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gems\specifications\vagrant.gemspec (if it exists) from: <nokogiri>, ["= 1.6.3.1"] to: <nokogiri>, [">= 1.6.3.1"] (note the >= as opposed to =)

Then run: vagrant plugin install nokogiri --plugin-version 1.6.7.1

I did what @rob1256 suggested now I get a different error listed below but this seems to be a separate issue

PS C:\Users\pbaumgar\MyCode\vagrants\awstest> vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'aws' provider... ==> default: Box 'dummy' could not be found. Attempting to find and install... default: Box Provider: aws default: Box Version: >= 0 ==> default: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly... ==> default: Adding box 'dummy' (v0) for provider: aws default: Downloading: dummy default: An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try again.

@rob1256 solution worked for me.
