Tried to follow tutorial

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issue running command [gcloud preview app deploy].

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I followed the steps in this tutorial:
https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/getting-started/using-cloud-sql

The hello world tutorial I did first was doing as expected.
https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/getting-started/hello-world

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please provide any additional information below.

I think this is an unfortunate problem caused by the way node.js vendors 
dependencies and the Windows max file length path. Basically, node.js installs 
dependencies in very long folder structures which can get too long to be 
addressed.

Can you try this?
npm install -g npm@3.7

The new version of npm vendors packages differently, which might help here.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I had a bad feeling about that file length myself, but I don't really know what 
to change to pack in a less complicated structure :-(

The 3.7 version didn't help

The Norwegian text "Systemet finner ikke angitt bane:" translates to "System 
cannot find path:"
