Really appreciate your taking the time to answer me Forrest. I would gladly
use the MSI installer but it doesn't work at all on my machine. I'm getting
a new laptop in a couple of weeks so crossing my fingers Nodejs runs well
on Windows 8!
I get an error message:
Error: Cannot find module
'C:\Windows\System32\nodenode_modulesnpmbinnpm-cli.js'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
at startup (node.js:119:16)
at node.js:906:3
So that looks like some strange pathing error?
