install fails on Windows 7

[kitsguru]

After a new install of node and npm via the windows msi package I receive errors trying to install grunt-replace.

I am using:

17:09 > node -v
v0.10.32

17:13 > npm --version
1.4.28

17:07 > npm install grunt-replace
|
> cson@1.6.1 preinstall J:\@projects\testing\node_modules\grunt-replace\node_mod
ules\applause\node_modules\cson
> node ./cyclic.js

'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

mmmmm, something wired here ... try to install the cson dependency alone please ...

npm install cson

i dont like the error 'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have filed an issue at bevry/cson Issue #50

as I get the same error installing cson alone. Don't see why node is not recognized either.

I also added my error message to kitsguru's issue. I'm not getting the 'node' is not recognized though.

oups, @kitsguru something wrong in your classpath ???

@bluSCALE4 you are use the same config from @kitsguru ...

when running node from bash, node works fine, when run from cmd prompt, I get node not recognized. trying to find what is different and will let you know what I find.

GOT IT Way back when I install NVMW as a node package manager. It used a cmd_auto_run.bat file that set the path variable. This overrode the ENV settings. I commented out the set path in the bat file and all is now OK.

The strange thing is that the values for the PATH were the same.
