Running "taco create" fails with "SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL" - taco

Question

New to TACO and I'm following the Getting Started with TACO-CLI. Sadly I am getting an error when running this create command:
taco create hello
Here's the error I'm getting:
$ taco create hello
Downloading: taco-kits
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\kyle\AppData\Roaming\taco_home\node_modules\taco-kits\latest\package.json'
npm WARN latest No description
npm WARN latest No repository field.
npm WARN latest No README data
npm WARN latest No license field.
taco-kits downloaded and installed.
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\kyle\AppData\Roaming\taco_home\node_modules\taco-kits\latest\node_modules\taco-kits'
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
I have these versions of stuff:
npm 3.9.6
taco 1.2.1
node 6.2.1
Windows 10 (latest updates)
I've also tried with the latest stable version of node (4.4.5) and no joy.
Indeed, the contents of 'C:\Users\kyle\AppData\Roaming\taco_home\node_modules\taco-kits\latest\' does not contain a package.json file. Here's what I see there:
node_modules
timestamp.txt
The 'C:\Users\kyle\AppData\Roaming\taco_home\node_modules\taco-kits\latest\node_modules\taco-kits' contains this:
LICENSE
TacoKitMetadata.json
node_modules
package.json
resources
tacoErrorCodes.js
tacoErrorHelper.js
tacoKits.js
templates
test
The package.json file in that folder contains the following:

Any help would be appreciated.
Update (resolved)
I was able to resolve this issue by deleting the taco-kits folder and then running taco kit list which reinstalled the kits. The bash commands I used are as follows (using bash):
rm -Rf /c/users/kyle/AppData/Roaming/taco_home/node_modules/taco-kits/
taco kit list
I'd suggest just renaming that taco-kits folder first just to make sure it works for you.
