OSError 193 when trying to install

[pendraggon87]

I receive an error %1 is not a valid Win32 application when running bower_install.

Here is a sample of my settings:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder",
"djangobower.finders.BowerFinder",)

Bower

BOWER_COMPONENTS_ROOT= '/components/'
BOWER_PATH = 'c:/Users/Aaron Katz/AppData/Roaming/npm/bower'
BOWER_INSTALLED_APPS = (
'jquery'
)

Any thoughts as to why I am getting that error?

I'm with the same problem, @pendraggon87 have you found a solution?

Just hit the same problem. It seems using subprocess with shell=True resolves the problem. I've set a pull requests.
