All extension installations fail (WinXP)

[frgc]

WinXP SP3
sprint 36 experimental build 0.36.0-11506 (release 942505c)

"Installation failed.
Unknown internal error."

Using extension manager this is what I get immediately upon trying to install an extension. There is no network activity. There is no antivirus and I tried unblocking brackets in windows firewall.

Medium priority to me to investigate.

@frgc Is there anything in the console (select Show Developer Tools from the Debug menu)?

[damouk]

I have the same problem - and the same set up (WinXP Sp3, sprint 36) (I'm using this through a proxy, but Sprint 35 worked fine).

This is the only line output in Developer tools:
"Unknown installation error extensionManager domain is undefined"

[frgc]

Same, from Dev Tools

Unknown installation error extensionManager domain is undefined
/extensibility/Package.js:367

@bchintx Is it possible that Node fails to start up on WinXP sp3 with the new binary module for file watching?

[bchintx]

@dangoor Ug. Something's definitely not working right. If I delete the installed 'fswatch_win.node' file, then launch Brackets and try to install an extension, the installation succeeds.

same behavior here... after deleting 'fswatch_win.node' file, installation succeeds.

Updating title to reflect that this is Windows XP-specific.
