Trouble when opening SBT by Windows 7 console

Question

SBT installed in Win 7 that I have run it by 'cmd' occurs the following error:

C:\Users\goularta>sbt

Project loading failed: (r)etry, (q)uit, (l)ast, or (i)gnore? i

somebody have a idea of what can be the trouble?

No! My problem is when you start SBT by 'cmd' the Win7 ... yet there is no source code. — user2669011, Jun 22 '15 at 14:46
Try to rename your local ivy directory to something else, could be a bad jar in your filesystem — Diego Alvarez, Jun 23 '15 at 03:44
in the last command, no matter the choice, SBT always closes. — user2669011, Jun 23 '15 at 12:47

As you've tagged your question with playframework it's probably duplicate of Intellij and sbt 0.13.5 "URI has an authority component"

Check you repositoryfile in C:\Users\profilename\.sbt\repositories and add a third slash to the file protocol. E.g.

[repositories]
   local
   activator-launcher-local: file:///${activator.local.repository-${activator.home-${user.home}/.activator}/repository}, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
   activator-local: file:///${activator.local.repository-//D:/.../activator-1.3.4/repository}, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
   maven-central
   ...

Note: every time you start Activator UI or create a new project via Activator the file-URIs are changed back.

See https://github.com/typesafehub/activator/issues/1033 for the related bug entry.
