Hey, I know this response is almost 2 years later, but I was having the same problem. Stuff would download (sort of...) and then immediately give me that error, turns out the issue is that you do in fact have to run VIPM as Administrator, assuming your user is not the Admin. One of those obnoxious things that prevent developers from doing their jobs.
