Neon: can't make a neon project, thread panicked at 'failed to run "npm install" for neon-sys'

[leshow]

I'm running this on a Windows 7 x64 VM, Node 5.x, rust nightly (installed with rustup/multirust)

I followed the steps to create a new project from the readme, upon running neon build I get:

$ neon build
neon info running cargo
neon info cargo build --release
error: failed to run custom build command for `neon-sys v0.1.10`
process didn't exit successfully: `C:\Users\test\test\native\target\release\build\neon-sys-03671bf25b64d6d\build-script-build` (exit code: 101)
--- stderr
thread 'main' panicked at 'failed to run "npm install" for neon-sys', ../src/libcore/option.rs:699
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.

neon ERR! cargo build failed

Same problem on Windows 10 x64, NodeJS 6.3.1 and Rust 1.10.0 (cfcb716cf 2016-07-03).

Here are the commands I executed :

neon new myproject
cd myproject
npm i

EDIT: Here is the output of npm i :

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 npm i

I get the same error on Windows 10. Will this be fixed someday?
