The system cannot execute the specified program

Hello,

since I couldn’t find anyone having the same issue, I thought I’d ask here.

I got a new Adafruit Huzzah board, which uses the ESP8266. When setting up a new project, I can’t compile and get the following error message:
[03/23/18 18:09:01] Processing huzzah (platform: espressif8266; board: huzzah; framework: arduino)

Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option

My platformio.ini is the default one, namely:

[env:huzzah]
platform = espressif8266
board = huzzah
framework = arduino

Any ideas on how to fix this? This is happening on a Win 10 PC and I have the feeling it’s somehow related to a security setting but I could not figure it out…

Any ideas?

You can execute pio settings set force_verbose Yes in a terminal and re-run this command? Should tell you more specifically where it crashes.
