Execution failed for task app.mergeDebugResources

[soren88]

Hello.

Having been working on Mac for a long time, I now have to start using a windows 10 PC. So I transfered my android studio projects over and downloaded android studio 3 to my pc. But, no matter what I do, I keep getting this error. Doesn't matter which project - I can even create a brand new project and it will give me this error. Please please, any ideas how I can fix this? Here's a complete printout of my Gradle console:
