Time elapsed 00:00:00.29. ``` Solution was to install the x64 version of vs 2012 c++ redistributable http://www.microsoft.com/en-NZ/download/details.aspx?id=30679 We should probably have a nicer error for this if we can, spent ages bashing at this! (Dependency Walker told me what the missing dll was)

Or this

There are some suggestions there.
