Windows 8 Install won't run (development)

[codeuniquely]

I installed node v0.12.(0.12.4)
I cloned your project
npm install (run as administrator)

install produced some errors (actually lots of them) - but here is an example

but nothing else seemed to be an issue so I assumed as the build has run it was OK.

npm start dev 

produced an error of isomorphic500@2.0.0 start: NODE_ENV=production node index "dev"

so I did it all manually

SET NODE_ENV=development 
SET DEBUG=isomorphic500
node index

I get the message.

Express development  server listening on 3000

I navigated to that address

http://localhost:3000

Node now throws an error into the console

  isomorphic500 Detected locale (from browser) is en +0ms
Error on request GET /

GET / 500 293.241 ms - 22

The browser just displays a blank page with:

Something bad happened

however, when I run

SET NODE_ENV=production
SET DEBUG=
node index

everything seem to work correctly. There appears to be some issue in the development configuration.

[Todilo]

see @davidgilbertson at #40
I did write
SET NODE_ENV=development
first then changed the package.json and the run with:
npm run dev

and it worked.

OK - then closed...
