Seems you don’t have rights. Try to run the same command as Administrator.

mosesmatt · June 27, 2017, 10:01pm

See Error when start new project
Many are now having similar problems

Hey, thanks for the answer, i try to run as Administrator and its steel doesn’t work, same error.

stardigits · June 28, 2017, 6:32am

The solution for me on Windows 8 by doing downgrade git to version 1.9.5.

ops5 · June 28, 2017, 10:49am

its not prehistoric old version?

In the other post there was a temporary workaround posted:

Also there is an issue with Ionic CLI to track this:

github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli

`npm start` fails on Windows because of `bonjour@github:resin-io/bonjour` stuff
