a recent install of msysgit (git-1.9.5-preview20150319.exe) https://msysgit.github.io/, believe, corrupted path variable. when restored it, nodejs installed successfully.
update
bower "installed without error" path variable set to
c:\users\chad\appdata\roaming\npm
and else trashed.
update 2
i noticed of control panel links didn't work after installing bower because systen variable %windir% no longer set. since list advanced properties editor used manage system variables no longer worked due windir variable no longer being set (%windir%\system32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe) instead ran c:\windows\system32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe) , came up. looked should, including seeing windir system variable set, still when ran echo %windir% cli, showed not set.
i don't bower install doing pc, don't it. recover env variables back, use system restore pc working prior bower install, bower not working.
curious. still have bower files on pc. if type in npm command line, should execute? don't recall seeing npm.exe or npm.bat file anywhere on pc when tried npm bower install -g. npm command recognized install failed.
i'm not sure how bower works. wanting try out , can't install bugger without trashing other aspects of pc.
update 3
after several attempts, decided clean system path variable , remove obsolete items. in doing so, noticed couple of duplicates, removed. when re-installed after, had no issue. unless there else going on here, assume duplicates perhaps confused logic supposed update path variable , bad update made. i'm not sure, i'm relaying outcome in case helps next person...
i had same problem installing on windows 7, using defaults. restored windows, did, , rebuilt icon db. tried again, without creating documentation shortcuts. had same problem again, found question. removed path duplicates, described in update 3, , worked. (i would've left comment under question, don't have enough points yet)
