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?
It looks as if the path isn’t being escaped properly (backslash must be
escaped in JavaScript strings: "\\"). Which version of Windows 7, and which
MSI? I was assuming it was the 0.10.32 one, but maybe not?
