Hi everyone, 

I havent used GAM in years but need it for a project and I am getting an error that I cant find any information on. 

Issue:  I can get passed the verification code and authenication flow but I get stuck on creating a project.  

Command-line output: The authentication flow has completed.

Project creation failed. Trying again. Say N to skip project creation.

Any information would be much appreciated. 

Thank you!

I'm having this exact same issue. In my organisation, we manage five separate domains and are only experiencing this issue on one of them, where a previous admin had set up a GAM cloud project. We've since removed the existing project but are still unable to create a new GAM project, getting this error every time.

Hi @Ross, 

It seems that there could be an issue with the installation process. I am getting 

Bad RequestError 400 

When trying to authorize and when placing "Unable to connect" it just loops to 

ERROR: (invalid_grant) Malformed auth code.
