UPDATE 2: Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my other computer either. While elasticsearch boots just fine, kibana.bat gives an "Unable to find usable node.js executable" message on boot. Though I know it's dangerous, I think I am just going to try to develop on the production version of Kibana from the Elastic website. Should I submit a bug request about this?
UPDATE 1: I went into the kibana\packages\kbn-babel-preset\node.js file & got rid of some of the commas at the end of lists/dictionary objects, which fixed the 800A0404 error, but caused another:

Dismissing this popup allows the bootstrap to continue until hitting the eslint-import-resolver-kibana directory:

ORIGINAL: Hello all, thank you for having me here on the Elastic Discourse forums. I am relatively new to development in Kibana & wanted to make some new application plugins for the platform. I have been following this guide here to set up my development environment, but have run into a couple problems that I hadn't had before.
I only just recently started getting the following popup error from the Windows Script Host on running the yarn kbn bootstrap command in the cloned kibana directory:
Script: C:\Users\super\OneDrive\Documents\kibana\packages\kbn-babel-preset\node.js
Line: 13
Char: 9
Error: Expected identifier, string or number
Code: 800A0404
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error
After clicking OK to dismiss this popup, here is what appears in the shell:
super@DESKTOP MINGW64 ~/OneDrive/Documents/kibana (master)
$ yarn kbn bootstrap
yarn run v1.6.0
$ node scripts/kbn bootstrap

I figured since the script host mentioned JScript compilation that un-/reinstalling Java would help, so I tried that in addition to un-/reinstalling Node.js and Yarn, but to no avail. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
