Yep, should have added a log message there. Fixed now. Thanks!

Sorry been away for a couple of weeks. |
On Windows machines with anti-virus software, renaming immediately after extracting fails due to an EPERM error. This is caused by the A/V locking up files while it is scanning them, thus disabling renaming. The solution is to re-try renaming until the EPERM error stops occurring, which happens after the A/V stops scanning the files.

Thanks, merging. Need to look at a node 0.10 problem, so will probably publish a version to NPM later today. |
