Installation fails on Windows

Hi,

it seems at the moment there is a problem installing the CLI on Windows. This happened on a fresh node installation on Windows 7.

You can use this workaround

@cclelio and @JanStureNielsen: Thank you. After upgrading to the newest node version and uninstalling before installing globally everything worked out fine. Thanks.

@cclelio no clue why that worked, but it did and that's awesome
