I had the above issue on a Windows 8.1 machine and the following github issue/solution worked for me:
github post

I’ll repeat the solution:
damiantje99 commented on May 10: The fix is the following:

Go to: C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\ .meteor\packages\meteor-tool\VERSION\mt-os.windows.x86_32\tools

In there you have a file called run-mongo.js

Open that file with notepad++ or anything similair.

Then on line 87 find the text:

child_process.exec(‘netstat -ano’, function (error, stdout, stderr) {

And replace it with

child_process.exec(‘netstat -ano’, {maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024}, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
