npm install fails on windows 7

[erratik]

Unable to succesfully install imagemin on Windows 7!

Running "imagemin:dist" (imagemin) task
Warning: Cannot find module 'optipng-bin' Use --force to continue.

I opened an issue on optipng-bin but no answer yet, so hopefully someone can help here!

I also tried installing optipng-bin on its own.. :/

@erratik what error do you get when you try to install optipng-bin?

[jamesplease]

Potentially related to #161

@erratik, using a proxy?

[erratik]

@kevva, I am, and I ran:

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

(with my company's proxy)

I just tried again this morning... optipng-bin, gifsicle and jpegtran-bin fail:

npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing gifsicle@0.1.5
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing jpegtran-bin@0.2.4
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing optipng-bin@0.3.2

Fixed by kevva/bin-wrapper@3935b8d.

[erratik]

Sweet! Except, I'm a supern00b at node.js, So how do I use this with my shell?

npm install bin-wrapper

And then....? ;)

[kevva]

Just reinstall grunt-contrib-imagemin.

[erratik]

so after bin-wrapper install:

bin-wrapper@0.2.1 node_modules\bin-wrapper
├── find-file@0.1.2
├── executable@0.1.0
├── bin-check@0.1.1
├── progress@1.1.4
├── rimraf@2.2.6
├── tempfile@0.1.2 (uuid@1.4.1)
├── download@0.1.10 (each-async@0.1.2, mkdirp@0.3.5, through2@0.4.1, request@2.31.0, decompress@0.1.6)
└── mout@0.9.0

and after after grunt-contrib-imagemin install, same errors :/

tried installing optipng-bin on its own, also giving same errors after bin-wrapper install :(

[kevva]

Try setting npm config set https_proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080 too.

[erratik]

No luck :(

[kevva]

Well, we're using https://github.com/mikeal/request. Try searching for a solution there.

[vladikoff]

Try version 0.6.0-pre by installing it from GitHub via npm install gruntjs/grunt-contrib-imagemin
I've tested it on OS X, Ubuntu and Windows with the latest stable version of Node.JS.
Please report any errors you get with a full error log, operating system, version of Node.JS.

Once we are sure 0.6.0-pre works well, we are going to publish it.
Thanks to @kevva for updating image-min!
