package.json postinstall not working on Windows msysgit

[kayhadrin]

Note that the postinstall command does not work on msysgit on Windows.

In package.json:

"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "./node_modules/.bin/bower install"
}

I get this error during the npm install.

> [email protected] postinstall c:\workspace\AngularJS-Testing-Article
> ./node_modules/.bin/bower install

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This is because on Windows, the postinstall command is executed as a "DOS" command instead.

Perhaps it'd be good to add a mention of this in the readme file?

Hi,

I have make those changes on package.json, but now I have a new errors. Maybe my package.json is all bad. Here you can get my package.json

This is the result in git bash console after execute "npm install"
