Is that WSL? Or are you running it from a Windows shell? Also, please upload that error report to something like https://pastebin.com instead of making it a pdf. We need to be able to copy text from it and that site doesn't allow copying.

Comments.Text: @Sam I don't think so. I just tried running `fastq-dump --fasta SRR1658345` on my Arch Linux machine and it brought me a fasta file just fine.
