unable to run on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard / code: 4294967295

[eostermueller]

thanks again for the timeshift proxy. It has been working for us for several months. Getting the error below running on a Windows 2012 server. Works just fine on Windows 10. It probably isn't related, but this machine has zero internet access.

...and I confirmed that these are in place:

C:\Progra~1\nodejs\node.exe
C:\Progra~1\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js

[eostermueller]

Also tried this approach: Wet the env variable:

setx /m INFLUXDB localhost:8086

executed this:

node ./bin/www /d /s /c

and got this msg for unix startup:

Usage: INFLUXDB=127.0.0.1:8086 npm run start

The instructions in the readme do not work either I noticed for windows:

setx INFLUXDB 192.168.33.11:8086
influxdb-timeshift-proxy
Usage: INFLUXDB=127.0.0.1:8086 npm run start

I got this working by not using npm, and just launching the code with node. Don't have the syntax in front of me, but that certainly worked.
