If you are having trouble with lime setup windows or lime setup android

[BlacklistedX]

I've had this problem for a week and was about to post a question here when it solved itself.
Since I could find very little help on search engines and forums for this, I'm posting it here in case it helps someone.

During the Hello World tutorial, in Windows 10, I was having trouble with these steps:
-->lime setup windows
-->lime setup android
both these commands were failing with "Uncaught exception - Blocked"

Example:
-->lime setup windows
Download and install Visual Studio C++ Express? [y/n/a] ? y
Downloading vc_web.exe...
Download complete
Called from ? line 1

Uncaught exception - Blocked

I'm pretty sure this is a connectivity issue. My internet, or server host, who knows. I must have tried this 10 times, but today it worked. I noticed that even when it fails to download fully, it will tell you "download complete". I believe that the uncaught exception is happening when it's trying to install a partial download package. The real tip off was that where before it just seemed to run all at once and fail, today I had to watch the download progress counter, which took a few minutes. After that, everything worked, including "lime setup android".

I hope this helps somebody.
