Pita/etherpad-lite — Issue #456: Can't Start on Windows: The module at "/pad_utils" does not exist

I just downloaded http://etherpad.org/etherpad-lite-win.zip
extracted it to c:\etherpad and ran the start.bat

I'm getting the error below. Any ideas how to fix this? with googling I came across: a similar issue on OSX: https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/issues/451
(I'm running Windows 7 64bit, running command prompt as Admin.)

Thanks for you help!
