There are two issues here: Apparently node-redis (a dependency of socket.io) has come to depend on hiredis, but hiredis doesn't compile on windows. You might want to complain to the node-redis or the hiredis maintainer. You can also install a slightly older version of socket.io; try `npm install [email protected]` The other problem is that nowjs doesn't compile on windows either. The zipball that you downloaded contains a precompiled version of nowjs, but it doesn't load. My suspicion is that it was compiled for x86 so the x64 version of node cannot load it. You can try installing the 32-bit version of node. - Bert -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
