Solution: Unable to install Mongoose on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Hmm looks like install of the underlying bson module failed. Its odd though, because the bson module, in theory, falls back to a JS-only implementation if the C++ extension fails to compile. The kerberos failure is not really a problem (unless you want to use Kerberos SSPI with MongoDB that is). Can you tell me which version of node and npm you're using, and what version of mongoose you're trying
