Clean install/run on Windows 10 not working

Clean install of my site. The site builds and shows up fine in a browser. Running backstop is kicking some odd errors that I can’t quite figure out.

C:\Users\patdavid\Personal\github\pixlsus\website>node --version
v4.5.0

C:\Users\patdavid\Personal\github\pixlsus\website>npm --version
2.5.19

I installed your beta:

C:\Users\patdavid\Personal\github\pixlsus\website> npm install -g garris/backstopjs#version_2_0
npm WARN engine pngjs@0.4.0: wanted: {"node":"0.8.x"} (current: {"node":"4.5.0","npm":"2.15.9"})
\
> phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.12 install C:\Users\patdavid\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\backstopjs\node_modules\phantomjs-prebuilt
> node install.js

Considering PhantomJS found at C:\Users\patdavid\AppData\Roaming\npm\phantomjs.CMD
Looks like an `npm install -g` on windows; skipping installed version.

I have a backstopjs.json that works fine on another install (different computer). For reference, my backstop.json: https://paste.gnome.org/puwbf4ho6

From the project primary directory, running >backstop refrence:

Hmm. I think this is unrelated to the first issue – but probably also due to the refactor. Would you mind creating a new ticket? Please include your config. Thank you.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help and possibly get a fix! Much appreciated!

Just an FYI: I’ve also tried this in a Cygwin environment and unfortunately it still kicks the same errors there as well. 😦 I’ll try it out from an ubuntu partition!
