Problem with npm installing global packages
If I try to install a global package with npm like :
sudo npm install -g grunt
npm will install the package in "/usr/lib/node_modules/". But it is not installing the executable anywhere.
The result of npm -g bin is
/usr/bin
So that is where I would expect the executable to be placed. But nothing is there. So if I run grunt, it just complains that grunt can't be found.
Any ideas? Thanks
====================
EDIT: OK everyone, please ignore me, I'm just being thick.
You don't install grunt globally. Grunt is the local package to install. To get the global grunt command, you install grunt-cli. Doing things correctly and everything works fine.

This thread is a year and two days old. The OP indicated what they had found and presumably are no longer following this thread.
I have no idea what npm is about, but if the OP's comments don't help, pleas go ahead and open a new thread that you will own. Maybe provide a bit more information. In the mean time I am going to close this old thread.

I am trying to install iTunes on my PC (using Windows 8.1), but I get this error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." The iTunes file (64-bit) I am trying to install, is named "iTunes64Setup.exe". What seems to be the problem? Help!
Hey madnest,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty installing iTunes in Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I have Wondows Vista... I tried to upgrade to Itunes 10.5, and received an error orginially stating that I was trying to install a version older than the one I had. I uninstalled all of itunes, and now I'm getting the error message "there is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram required for this install to complete could not be run.
Help! I have an IPhone, and I would like to get my Itunes upgraded so I can download the new Iphone software...
Thanks!I have been in touch with Apple support in reference to my problem. We went through every solution available, and found no fix. The tech then suggested I contact Microsoft concerning this issue. I thought that suggestion was just to get me pointed somewhere but Apple. Boy was I wrong!! I contacted Microsoft, and was directed to a free download called Microsoft Fix. This program fixed something in the regisitor, and wala everything was fixed!! I now have I-Cloud and I-Tunes loaded and working well. So, if you can't install Apple Software and are running Window 7 you might give Microsoft Fix a try, it fixed my problem.....

when trying to setup itunes on my pc i get the following message: there is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. How could I solve this problem?
Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR, -
Hi,
This is how it all started. When the new update for iTunes 11 came out, I tried to update it. After I had updated it I found nothing had changed. So i tried rebooting my computer and everything and found that still nothing had changed. So I tried uninstalling it. After that I tried to re-install it, but it came up with the
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." message. So I looked around the internet and found a website that told me to uninstall all Apple products. So i did that. When i tried to uninstall Apple Software Update, it came up with the 'problem with windows' message again. So I used Revo to uninstall it. So I rebooted and tried to install it again. It installed Bonjour and all of the other programs but stopped halfway and gave me the 'proplem with windows' message again. I've looked around and most of the solutions have been to try and repair Apple Software Update, but the problem is, I've already deleted it. So can someone PLEASSEEEE help me fix this problem! (Sorry for droning on)http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall try this an see if it fixes it.

Not able to access Itunes store anymore. Just quit working for no reason. I've tried deleting Itunes and related components from the Control Panel, but when I try to remove Apple Software Update, I get a message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". Not sure what this message means. Am I suppose to contact Apple ? What is meant by package vendor ?
Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait

I am using Window 7 32 bit. I have try several time for install, but the result is getting same error message.
Anyone can help on this??????
Thanks.
JustinI have also tried extracting the individual components to the temp file and attempting to install them individually despite being unable to remove the previous install of Apple Software Updater. The outcome, both Apple Software Updater and itunes encountered the same error message during the install process.

Try looking at the two previous discussions listed on the right side of this page with your same question.
Also, try searching/posting in the iTunes forum since you do not have an iPod problem. -

There is a problem with the Window installer package. A program required for this intall to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package venfor.
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -

I've also spent hours on the phone with both apple and windows technical support specialists. This is very clearly not a windows issue. I've given my computer a clean boot, disable my antivirus and firewall, and then attempted to download (yes, from apple's website). I've delete all of the programs (in the necessary order) and then attempted reinstalling with absolutely no luck. I'm starting to think that there's absolutely nothing I will be able to do. I've also never been able to fine "apple software updater or apple software update on my computer, which is particularly odd because I haven't found a post in this community that answers that question. No, "apple software update" cannot be found by accessing the start menu or anything in the "C drive". Apple software update is also never included in the itunes download package that I get from apple's website (the others, such as bonjour, apple application support, and apple mobile support are). No matter what I do, I always get the mesage at the end of the download, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
This may or may not be related to the "apple software update" issue.Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait
