Answer: 
I don't know how or at what point this happened, but it happened to me and if you look inside your `bower_components` folder there maybe a folder called `App States`. I deleted this folder and I was able to do an install.
You have your bower config in bower.json file, right? You don't give the file as argument, it messes like you show.

So, type in the folder that holds the bower.json file only

```
bower install

```

That command will find the bower.json for you automatically.
