[Bug] Version Check Fails on Windows

[peterallenwebb]

Is this a new bug in dbt-common?

• I believe this is a new bug in dbt-common
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug

Current Behavior

Version check (dbt --version) appears to fail sometimes on Windows, as captured in the following screenshot:

I have not locally reproduced the issue yet, but a general Google search for the error message indicates it is somewhat common, and probably Windows-only.

Expected Behavior

The dbt --version command should work on all supported operating systems.
