One comment: Ronnie, I'm an old programmer, I used to program in mainframes, punched cards, minicomputers, some old Unix, even Xenix ;-)... but the last two decades, my career was in Windows.
One thing a Windows developer like me, found a bit not explicit stated (maybe I wrong, but...) is that npm can be (and usually is) invoked AT A WORKING FOLDER. Your .msi installation should add the node path to your PATH. If not, I highly recommended to add it. Then, you can enter: cd \myusualdevfolder mkdir mytest cd mytest npm install nodeunit then, in your mytest folder, you will have a node_modules folder, with nodeunit subfolder. Can you run npm in this way, and install something not in your system, like nodeunit? (or try npm install simplemvc (my project ;-)) I see that you are trying to run npm install .... from the npm directory. Hmmm... It's not the usual way. Please, can you do the above steps? have node installation folder in your PATH?
