ajaxorg/cloud9 — Issue #858: Unable to install in Windows

I have attempted to run through the installation instructions several times, but am unable to.
I am currently running Windows XP and have installed npm and node.js without any problems. I can get into the node console just fine.

My node path is C:\Program Files\nodejs\. This is the directory assigned by the .msi install from Node.

I can install via npm with success and have also tried using git to install. Both do their duty, according to the Readme.

However, when I attempt to run 'bin\cloud9-win32.bat' in the command prompt, I am told:

"Windows cannot find 'support\node-builds\win32\node'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again...."

When I go to 'c:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\cloud9\support\', there is not a 'node-builds' folder. There is a node-builds-v4' folder. When I go into that folder, there is not a win32 directory. Instead, there are several files, including a node-linux32 file and a node-cygwin.exe file.

I have attempted to run 'bin/cloud9.js' directly in the command prompt of node (node bin/cloud9.js) and I receive the following error:

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\cloud9>node bin\cloude9.js

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\cloud9\bin\cloud
e9.js'

at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
at Array.0 (module.js:470:10)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

At this point, I'm at a loss what to do and cannot find many resources to replicate this issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
James
