Has anyone else run into this error? And How to fix the problem?
Actually the issue is described here already 
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Java home supplied via 'org.gradle.java.home' is invalid. Invalid directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92
If you go to your gradle.properties configuration file, you will get the following
  org.gradle.java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92
You can remove it or give the original JAVA_HOME location. Hope it will solve your issue.
N.B: If your path is OK, then use double backslashes "\" like above in your path.
Wrong jdk version in %userprofile%\.gradle\gradle.properties caused the issue in my case. Another option to try is hardcode the java home path directly in gradle_dir/bin/gradle.bat like so:
set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_251"
This is probably an proxy issue, try creating %userprofile%\.gradle\gradle.properties or ~/.gradle/gradle.properties containing the following :
systemProp.http.proxyHost=[host]
systemProp.http.proxyPort=[port]
systemProp.http.proxyUser=[user]
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=[pass]
systemProp.https.proxyHost=
systemProp.https.proxyPort=
systemProp.https.proxyUser=
systemProp.https.proxyPassword=
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=localhost|orther.domain.tld
