The errors is caused not to be set HOME environment variable.
So the workarround is to set HOME correctly on dos prompt:

set HOME=c:\your\own\directory

or you can set it with Control Panel as a permanent environment variable.

You're welcome ;).

BTW,
I intend to release rbbr-0.5.1 for MS Windows 
if your problem will be fixed.
So keep to report your problems until you succeed to run rbbr, please ;).
