create_nordic_project.py failed(1)

Hello,

I am currently using nRF Connect SDK v1.7.1 with a nrf9160DK. I keep getting "create_nordic_project.py filed (1)" when I try to open a new project with a overlay file.  Same projects can be opened if I delete the overlay.  I tried pretty much all the solutions/suggestions from the devzone, but so far no luck.  This situation also happened when I was using v1.7.0.  I also tried reinstalling the SDK, but didn't work.  Did I miss anything?  Is there a procedure I have to follow in order to load in a overlay file?  Thank you.

I open hello_world without the overlay.  No problem there.  Then I add a overlay and Run CMake.  I have the following error.  This is a freshly installed SDK v1.7.1.  I believe this is the same error as I open hello_world with a overlay file.  What have I done wrong?
