Answer 1

I had this error on Windows 7 x64 (node-v0.10.28-x64.msi) and was able to install by choosing not to install the "Online documentation shortcuts" during the Custom Setup part of the installation. Select "Entire feature will be unavailable".

None of the other solutions worked for me, but I did install as admin and log the output. The logs were not helpful (reported a FatalError, not much else).
