Strongloop installation error on windows Server 2012 R2 Std

[jaideepdas]

I am getting the following error while installing strongloop on windows server 2012 R2

Similar errors keeps popping up and then it completely dies out. I suspect its a IA64 vs AMD64 issue as it works fine on my amd64 bit process with windows 10

I'm having the same problem, except I'm using Win 10.

@morgdenn are you also on xeon processor.

@rmg ^

[rmg]

This is the same problem as strongloop/strongloop#253.

TL;DR: there's a bug in npm@3 (npm/npm#9643) that affects global modules with nested optionalDependencies. Unfortunately, that describes most of our globally installed modules.

For now the solution is npm install -g npm@2.

[rmg]

As an aside, AMD64 == x86_64 == x86-64 == x64 and applies to Xeon processes. IA64, on the other hand, refers to Itanium and to the best of my knowledge is completely unsupported by V8 and Node.

[superkhau]

See strongloop/strongloop#253 as recommended by @rmg. Closing.
