Invalid User Data Exception - Android

Question

I'm having some trouble in the Gradle Build of my app. Every time I try to run it, it doesn't work, making a InvalidUserDataException. The console also says something about not finding a file named "inary", but I don´t even know what it is.

Here goes the entire console:

And the Build Gradle Files:

gradle file

This might be be because you're not running Android Studio as administrator. Also please provide more info like which version of Studio and JDK you're using. Is this some imported project? Can you share the structure of you project? — Sufian
I'm using the 2.1.2 version of Android Studio and the 1.8.0 JDK. Actually, it's not an imported project. — Eduardo Carvalho
Is `C:\Users\Eduardo\Desktop\workspace_mobile\Tender` your project folder? Can you tell the name of the folders inside this location? — Sufian
Yes, it is. The folder names are: .gradle, .idea, app, build and gradle. — Eduardo Carvalho

The latest version of gradle (3.4.0) has some sort of bug, the only way to fix it, is to ;

Go to build.gradle (application name), and then change the version to 3.2.0.

At this point of time, only by doing this the error will be solved.
