Windows install fails

Hello,

I'm on Win7 64 bit.

Got the following error after npm install node-sass

js\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.j

What versions of Visual Studio do you have installed on you machine?
Node 0.10 is a requirement for build/run https://github.com/andrew/node-sass/blob/master/package.json#L37

[LaurentGoderre]

The way I make it work is after the npm install fails, I go and modify the generated Visual Studio project.

How about a binary package for those who don't have Visual Studio at all ?

[nschonni]

@GammaNu the binary package is included in the NPM install. The rebuild is only required if the testing of the binary fails

Closing since the original issue was with Node 0.8 which isn't supported
