node-thrust fails to install on Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

[tanderberg]

After extracting thrust-v0.7.5-win32-ia32.zip, npm exclaims:
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn ENOENT
at errnoException (child_process.js:1001:11)

npm ERR! node-thrust@0.7.5 postinstall: node scripts/bootstrap.js
npm ERR! Exit status 8

I get the same error on Windows 7 (64 bit).

Just for fun, it also fails to install on 64 bit Vista and Windows 10 preview. I guess the npm package is for 32 bit Windows only.

@spolu we should mention. In the read me that we only have prebuilt
binaries for 64b Linux Darwin and 32b windows

@tanderberg @luffs if you download directly the release, does it launch properly:

I believe that installing winzip or any other provider of the unzip command will solve the issue. I'll try to make it work without winzip

Opened breach/node-thrust#7
closing this one as this is node specific
