Problem in using module with node v7.4.0 (npm v4.0.5)

[dimikhan]

I could successfully install and use this module with node v4.1.2. But last week I have have upgraded my node to v7.4.0 (I understand that's a large upgrade with a single move, but I just thought to have the latest one). Then I can not use this module anymore. The app I could run earlier is erroring out as below. Interestingly it is searching the fibers module as a direct dependency of the app module (within the node_modules of the app) where as, as per this module it should be present (and is present) as dependent module of synchronize module (within the node_modules/synchronize/node_modules of the app).

**c:\workspace_PL\PL_PACreation>node app.js

There is an issue with node-fibers

c:\workspace_PL\PL_PACreation\node_modules\synchronize\node_modules\fibers\bin\win32-x64-51\fibers.node is missing.

Try running this to fix the issue: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe c:\workspace_PL\PL_PACreation\node_modules\synchronize\node_modules\fibers/build
c:\workspace_PL\PL_PACreation\node_modules\synchronize\node_modules\fibers\fibers.js:20
throw new Error('Missing binary. See message above.');

This looks like an issue with dependency node-fibers. Can you file over there?

Ran into the same issue; as a temporary workaround I uninstalled node-fibers and then just ran npm install node-fibers within the synchronize node_modules directory and that allowed me to move forward.

@brenley Thank you. Actually I saw, the reason for this error is that when it runs with node v4.1.2 it expects the fibers.node in fibers\bin\win32-x64-46 and when it runs with node v7.4.0 it expects the fibers.node in fibers\bin\win32-x64-51.
When I installed synchronize module, the dependent fibers module did not installed with win32-x64-51 folder (it has only till ***-48). Not sure if it is a problem with fibers installation or I am installing it incorrectly. Howvever, I am going to raise this into fibers module. Thanks @bradvogel for your suggestion as well.
