在 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 位上运行
下载：
- node.js (0.8.7-x64) 作为来自官方网站的 windows msi
- 来自http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm的 make-3.81 （完整包，源除外）
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 网络版
然后按照http://blog.nowjs.com/running-nowjs-natively-on-windows上的步骤进行操作，这意味着：
- 安装 Microsoft Visual C++ 运行时（我有 x64 版本）
- 从 github.com/Flotype/now/zipball/windows 获取 now.js 的“fixed-for-windows”版本
一切就绪后，运行任何需要“now”模块的示例都会导致对 socket.io 模块的请求。
运行“npm install socket.io -g”输出：

[ws v0.4.21] Attempting to compile blazing fast native extensions.
[ws v0.4.21] Native code compile failed (but the module will still work):
[ws v0.4.21] The native extensions are faster, but not required.
[ws v0.4.21] On Windows, native extensions require Visual Studio and Python.
[ws v0.4.21] On Unix, native extensions require Python, make and a C++ compiler.
[ws v0.4.21] Start npm with --ws:verbose to show compilation output (if any).

我错过了什么吗？还尝试了 node.js 的 0.8.6-x64 和 0.8.5-x64 版本，两者都打包为 msi。
此外，将 now.js 的固定 Windows 版本直接放在 helloworld_server.js 示例中的 node_modules 文件夹中并运行“node helloworld_server.js”会产生：
