Answer 1

There seem to be two separate issues here. The first is that Meteor is failing to run "tar". Do you have the "tar" program installed? What happens when you run "tar" at the prompt?

The second appears to be an issue with Meteor's files.rm_recursive function. It is trying to delete the C:\\files2\\ddd.meteor\\local\\build_tar\\bundle\\server directory, but that directory is not empty, even though it already tried to delete all the files in it. Can you look in that directory and see what is left (including perhaps files that might be hidden by default)? I'm not enough of a Windows expert to know the right command here. For example, I know on a Mac that this directory will have a ".bundle_version.txt" file in it; maybe the rm_recursive function on Windows misses deleting that file?
