title: Cannot install node.js under Windows 7: "the specified path is too long"
body: <p>Using the newest node.js installer from <a href="https://nodejs.org" rel="noreferrer">https://nodejs.org</a>, I run into the same error every time when it reaches the npm installation. npm 3.x was supposed to deal with this issue, but apparently it doesn't help the node.js installer. The node developers have essentially refused to do anything about it, as this problem has been around for about two years already. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a work around. How can I get this to install?</p>
