I've been trying to fix the very same problem for months, with no luck. I tried the suggestion above using Powershell, but no luck. I'm trying to get this to work at my office, where we have mostly Windows 7 enterprise edition computers connected to a Windows domain. I'm one of the few Mac users, so no problems for me, but I'm trying to help my colleagues get Vagrant running, with little success. I've tried this now on 5 different computers, all with the same result.
