Hi @gentlesammy - thanks for reporting this issue. I can see what the issue is and will keep this bug open until we provide a fix in the near future. The problem is that the string "scripts/build.js" in our postinstall script is hardcoded to use a forward slash and windows needs it to be a backslash. Until we fix this you might be able to work around it on your windows machine by using powershell or cygwin (I haven't tested it with these but presume they will allow it to work). If you can successfully get past the install/postinstall script with powershell or cygwin then you can return to the default command prompt. Hope that helps!

I have the same issue. Using PowerShell or cmd to install the package failed either.

Hi GrayYoung - I believe this issue has been resolved in the current master branch already. It was resolved with a commit dated 11/23/2020 when gulp was introduced to the project. However, no new versions have been cut since this fix was integrated to the master branch, so the version 2.0 (latest) release in the npm registry does not include this fix. Therefore, I suggest you could pull the latest revision of master branch if you need this fix, or otherwise wait patiently for the next release.

@stenflo Thanks, it did work.
