The toolkit 1.6.2 does not work with Android version 4.2.2. It requires new fastboot and adb drivers. They are available  here  (http://"goo.im/devs/WugFresh/NexusRootToolkit/new_adb_and_fastboot.zip")

Download that zip and extract/unzip its contents into the toolkits/data directory and agree to overwrite those files, then proceed to use “Any Build” mode to root.

The tool kit uses scripts to execute adb and fastboot commands. Without the updated drivers, rooting isn't going to happen.

Worst comes to worst add recovery after... The page opens fine for me with Chrome and starts the d/l automatically.. If you have questions ask. Cmon let's pick it up.
