I don't have a Windows installation handy at the moment, so I can't try things out. Having said that, the right solution is probably to call browserify from an npm script, which I think should also fix things on Windows.

when i try to update apidoc protobuf,i met the same question.And i resolved this by the following commands: $ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules $ brew uninstall node $ brew install node --without-npm $ echo prefix=~/.npm-packages >> ~/.npmrc $ curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh You can try this. Best wishes!

try : update makefile file

1. node_modules.bin\browserify .\lib\index.js --standalone mammoth -p browserify-prepend-licenses > mammoth.browser.js

2. node_modules.bin\uglifyjs mammoth.browser.js -c > mammoth.browser.min.js

3. npm install

4. open browser-demo/index.html

I found the problem, the separator in windows is '' and this file just use '/'.
