Unhandled error

[villeneuve-michael]

Hi there,

I get an error, uninstall/installed many times without much success. Here's the stack :

$ npm install ember-cli-windows -g

Any idea?

I have the most recent npm/node version. Everything is a fresh install.

Hey @villeneuve-michae, thanks for reporting! The error doesn't tell me much, but I'd love to figure out what's going on. Which version of Windows are you running?

Also, could you run this from a PowerShell with admin rights - replacing LOCATION with the path of your ember app:

Z:\Users\Mic_V\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ember-cli-windows\setup-search.ps1 -path "LOCATION"

You'll probably still get an error, but I'd love to see what's actually failing.

[villeneuve-michael]

I'm using windows 8.0. It doesn't look like I have "setup-search.ps1" (the folder is valid, but the file is not in it)

[villeneuve-michael]

Ah, I found the file in a subfolder, here's the result :

"Done"

EDIT: Oh wait, for some reason I think it simply opened the file. Nothing was output in the powershell.
