12 years ago"create-this-app" is going to be a shell script that is placed into your new application folder. You can launch a "NIOS II Command Shell" (cygwin prompt) and attempt to run that script manually to see what the error is.
If that script does not exist, this would indicate that the tools had trouble creating that script (check your admin privileges you mentioned). Overall, it sounds like a installation / permissions problem like you thought.
