npm install vs node-gyp rebuild

[kfiku]

I have another strange issue. First i need to add msvs_disabled_warnings 4244 (like #3).
and next if i run node-gyp rebuild its ok but npm install or npm build . break with error:

> scrollbar-style@0.3.0 install c:\Portable\scrollbar-style
> node-gyp rebuild


c:\Portable\scrollbar-style>node "c:\Portable\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild

@kfiku I am having this issue as well. Did you manage to solve it?

The stack Error: spawn ENOENT message makes it seems like node wasn't available on your PATH when node-gyp ran node "c:\Portable\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" which is really strange and definitely shouldn't be happening.

It looks like maybe you are using a custom nodejs installation based on the c:\\portable\\nodejs\\node.exe part of the message so I'd make sure that your node folder is on your PATH and/or upgrade to a newer version of npm which may have fixed this issue.
