I'm just trying to get some torque spec's for various things (hopefully in this VIDA thingy).
I'm just running into this issue, which I didn't spot anyone else mention:

My machine is on Win 10, I've run scripts as administrator but this is happening on the 2nd one.
I've also tried it on my Win 10 laptop, exact same issue.
And this is the error from the log file:
-----------------------------

Found this very helpful thread here, so going through this first:

I couldn't get it working on my PC but somehow...somehow it worked on my laptop, which at the end of the day is exactly what I needed !
