It's saying it doesn't have permission to listen on port 9001 so one of a few things is happening:

It needs to be run as administrator (though you said you've tried this and it didn't work)
Something else is already running on port 9001 (possibly an existing node service?)
A firewall is blocking anything from opening up a listening port

If you want to see if another process is using that port, open a PowerShell prompt as administrator and run this:

Get-Process -Id (Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9001).OwningProcess
