I have a nodejs project in Vs2013

I built it on a w7, 64 bit machine, and it's working, on my main box, check it into TFS and it builds and runs test in Team city. Also runs from a batch file that calls protractor.cmd directly.

I pulled it down on a second box, windows 7, 64 bit

installed Java jdk, VS Node tools, node.js, protractor, VS2013 update 4.

If I run it from the batch file it runs fine. If a debug the project in vs2013 it crashes with the error above

The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.

There are some SO questions that says node.exe is the problem but I searched my drive (with agent ransack) and can't find node.exe anywhere.

I uninstalled the 64 JDK and installed the 32 bit JDK and no joy..

I'm assuming I've installed the wrong version of something.. but I don't know what

Any Ideas? Any Help Is appreciated.

Make sure you added Node.exe to the path.

You said you installed nodejs, so look for Node.exe in something like C:\Program Files\nodejs\

If you can't find Node.exe, then uninstall nodejs and reinstall it and pay attention to where it installs.

Now that you have Node.exe, add it to the path by

  • right click on My Computer
  • select Properties
  • activate the Advanced tab
  • click the Environment Variables button
  • edit the Path system variable

  • Also when we installed node on the D: drive it didnt' work, we uninstalled and reinstalled on the C: drive it worked on my coworkers boss.. Also do be sure to reboot if you have similar issues, some environment variables don't seem to get set till reboot. – Eric Brown - Cal Jul 06 '15 at 14:11
