Issue installing ember.js app

First time using ember. Installed the cli on windows 7 and ran ember new my-app. This starts going through the motions and a couple of minutes in it hangs when installing bower.

I have npm v3.6.0, node v5.6.0 and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Bower v1.7.9

I've also tried npm cache clean and ember init but it still hangs at the same point. Below is where the command line hangs:
