Installation on windows failing

[Slind14]

Hey,

I tried to install it on a win 7 64bit machine but it always ends up with:

\

' was unexpected at this time.

That's weird. What does running the following output for you?

node -e "console.log(process.platform);"

A value of "win64" wouldn't be shocking, though everything I've read suggests it should still be reporting"win32".

Also, what terminal program are you using? Command Prompt, PowerShell, Cygwin, MinGW32, MSysGit, etc.?

[JamesMGreene]

Oh, also: do you have git installed and configured?

[JamesMGreene]

Oh, I bet it also needs to run git init first since you're installing from NPM.

[Slind14]

1. it reports win32, Command Prompt
2. yes, I have for the win console (not only bash)
3. I can run git init just fine

Do I need to do something else besides git clone https://github.com/JamesMGreene/node-partty.git & npm install or npm install partty?

[JamesMGreene]

I believe the former combo should work until i get this patched. Does it not?

:: From project dir
cd node_modules
git clone https://github.com/JamesMGreene/node-partty.git partty
cd partty
npm install

Note that if you run a subsequent npm install at your project dir level, it may overwrite/mess-up this hacked install. 😕

[JamesMGreene]

Can you try the new version 0.5.5?

[JamesMGreene]

(Hopefully fixed by 327a506)

[Slind14]

Unfortunately it didn't work:

Try deleting the whole "partty" directory and then do npm install --save partty@0.5.5.

[Slind14]

:(

Updated again. Could you try deleting the whole "partty" directory and then do npm install --save partty@0.5.6?

[JamesMGreene]

Just tried this out on my own Windows box. For me, I saw the same installation errors for v0.5.5 as you reported. Installing v0.5.6 went much better (got past the previous error, anyway) but, for me, failed thereafter on a msbuild/machine setup/configuration discrepancy:
