ok, I decided to go ahead and test with a fresh copy of kix 4.64 from the website, checked the md5. so far so good.
the script didn't work out of bat since normal user doesn't have rights. stupidly, the error is 55, which has nothing to do with what the actual issue is.
opened an elevated command prompt and ran it again.
works perfectly.
