'm on Windows 7 (64-bit) and TileMill fails to start, even if I try "Run as Administrator".

Here's the full contents of `tilemill.log`:
```
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Unable to load shared library C:\Program Files (x86)\TileMill\node_modules\mapnik\lib\_mapnik.node

```

`C:\Program Files (x86)\TileMill\node_modules\mapnik\lib\_mapnik.node` definitely exists. The "Administrators" group has full permissions on that file (I thought it might be a permissions issue).
