This is the results I get when I try to install this module using npm install:

I'm running Windows Vista. Why is it having trouble installing it's dependencies? Does this module work with Windows?

[niftylettuce]

what version of node are you running btw?

[samholmes]

I'm running on v0.6.12

I really need to get this module installed tonight before tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm going to just use visionmedia's EJS module to render my emails.

[niftylettuce]

see my IRC comments and let me know if you were able to resolve.

if you were able to, please post a how-to for others that experience this same issue on Windows.

[samholmes]

Do you know what exactly is happening and could you explain it? All I know is that it has to do with compiling native modules (C/C++), but I'm not sure exactly how all of this works. I know that it errors on contextify, but there's also that warning on with htmlparser, which might be un-related, I'm not sure.

Resolved with the introduction of npm install email-templates-windows via https://github.com/niftylettuce/node-email-templates#windows. For future Windows work we will be using the windows branch.
