Hi,
Since bower is updated to 1.8.11,
I have this error:

 [exec] module.js:550
 [exec]     throw err;

My team have been facing this issue since the latest update, looks to be a missing dependency. If anyone needs to solve this urgently before a fix is pushed, simply install the "qs" package globally via npm i qs -g.

I'm workingon resolving this. In the meantime 1.8.8 is marked as latest version so it should install by default

It should be fixed in 1.8.12 which is now marked as latest. Sorry for the trouble, we need to fight against new npm versions each time we upgrade because we bundle all dependencies
