npm install mongoose on windows 7 failing
Finally I am able to install mongoose on windows 7
below are my findings/solutions
I found out problem was with mongodb which is itself a node module and a dependency for mongoose.The mongodb module was not build properly becasue I had not install Visual Studio c++ 2010. So I install Visual Studio c++ 2010 , gave a restart and tried the mongoose installation , and it worked for me.
another problem I faced is , I work behind a firewall ,because of that npm was not able to download some files , and installation aborted.
to get rid of that we need to set up proxy first before installation.
npm config set proxy http://your.proxy:port
