LibGDX IntelliJ Gradle Project Creation Error

I am new to IntelliJ and Gradle and I am trying to get a project started up using LibGDX with IntelliJ and Gradle. I have followed the instructions on LibGDX website but when I get to the spot where I open up the LibGDX project I get a message in IntelliJ telling me that 

Error:org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not execute build using Gradle installation 'C:\Users\USERNAME\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.11-all\7qd8qq8te5j4f5q9aaei3gh3lj\gradle-1.11'.: Could not execute build using Gradle installation 'C:\Users\USERNAME\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.11-all\7qd8qq8te5j4f5q9aaei3gh3lj\gradle-1.11'.

I am using Windows 7, IntelliJ 13 Community Edition and LibGDX 1.1. I have looked up the error on Google and on this very site but can find nothing which helped. I have restarted my computer several times and reinstalled all software including Java several times and nothing has changed anything with this error. Anyone know what is going on here? :-)

So I answered the question myself. If you are using a 64 bit OS and you are getting this error then you have to reinstall IntelliJ and when you are starting it up again for the first time you have to use the 64 bit exe file. This can be found in the installation folder for IntelliJ in the bin folder and is called idea64.exe. As I only have IntelliJ 13 Community Edition I could only test it on this version, so if you are using a different version then you might have to solve this another way.
