When running the application as administrator i did no get that error.

It appears you are trying to get a normal connection as SYS user. You cannot do that. You would have to change the "connect as" from "normal" to "sysdba". Ideally, you should be connecting as a user other than SYS or SYSTEM.

I get the same error no matter what user i use to connect.

Seems as though you were posting at the same time I was.

If it is working fine as an administrator user, then I would suspect a permission issue. The only clue I have is that since the error window is blank, my guess is a permission issue on the Oracle Home directories. It cannot get to the message file to print the message.

On the pl/sql developer help site, it looks like the blank messages
are indeed a windows security issue.

This thread is for version 7 but a slightly higher subversion; likely the same problem though.
