Windows 10 dependencies issue when installing as global #197

Open nicoabie opened 6 years ago

nicoabie commented 6 years ago

After linking node-windows as described in the readme

npm link node-windows

one should link its dependencies as well

npm link xml

for the installation to succeed and

npm link optimist

for the service to be started

coreybutler commented 6 years ago

This shouldn't be necessary. When a global module is installed, the dependencies are also installed.

Which version of Node & npm are you running?

Who cares if it should or should not be. This fixed his problem as well as mine. Please look into this.

Please give us more specifics if you want us to investigate this issue further. Relevant error logs and system information. If you want us to pursue troubleshooting this further we need to be given more information.

@atljoseph Just stating the facts of the matter and trying to get a better idea of what's going on.

I'm going to close this unless you can provide the additional information requested.
