Did you solve this yourself?
I noticed you opened another issue showing you have your app generated already.

look at this #55

yes, initially I was not above run the command npm install generator-material-app command but then @michaelkrone updated the repo and I was able to run the command, but then in the end this error came.

This seems to be a known problem with gulp-protractor and windows. I will try to fix it by using the protractor binary instead, there is evidence on the web this helps.

Need to solve #66 before I can publish a new version. To try if it works you might checkout the fix/webdriver-manager branch and do a npm link in the cloned directory. Then you are able to call yo material-app with the fix applied, or just wait till the merging is done.

@TejasCMehta
Even better: Do a npm install --save-dev protractor and in you package.json change the "postinstall" line to "postinstall": "node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update",

changing to "postinstall": "node ./node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update"
resolves the issue!
Thanks!!
