Unexpected token error

[ZachSaucier]

I've installed ae-to-json and the other requirements and don't get any errors when I run node someFile.js with this inside it:

var aeToJSON = require('ae-to-json/after-effects');
var ae = require('after-effects');

However, if I add ae.execute(aeToJSON) afterwards, taken from the instructions, then I get this:

SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token (1:9)

It seems that the AE project is not being converted to JS properly and thus interprets it as this mess of symbols.

How can I fix this issue?

@ZachSaucier I'm currently at a conference and will try to look into this when I'm back. From the pathing I notice you're on Windows. I have not tested on windows yet. I will have to check if the issue is caused by this.
