Unable to eslint init locally on windows.

Tell us about your environment

Environment: Windows 7. EsLint Version: v3.12.0. Node Version: v6.9.2. NPM Version: 3.10.9.

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

> npm install eslint --save-dev
> node_modules\eslint\bin\eslint.js --init

I expected the eslint process would begin with it’s usual questions.

I got a VB script error prompt.

Other notes

> npm install -g eslint

When I install eslint globally it works fine.

I assume the first character is a hash (as part of a shebang)… I thought Windows had a way of ignoring those, but I can’t recall offhand what that would be.

@kahneraja Possible workaround: Can you prepend the node binary?

> node node_modules\eslint\bin\eslint.js --init

@thepiscean Note that we don’t generally recommend installing ESLint globally because then it won’t detect locally-installed plugins or sharable configurations. Instead, I think @kahneraja’s best bet is to run this with the node binary.
