First idea: Try it in another folder, as I suggested in a previous email.
The USUAL way is to work outside that folder. So your modules will be installed in your working folder, maybe cd c:\Dev\NodeJs mkdir mytest cd mytest and then, work from that folder. Try then node to be sure if it works Then, try your hello app Then, run npm install express and try your express application. But ever from your working directory. Keep the node folder to be managed by node and npm. If you download an application (or git clone one), usually the application folder has a package.json. Then, go to that application folder and run npm install Npm reads the package.json, discovering all the dependencies the application has. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
