node_version is missing

[ravipksh]

Downloaded the zip as of today (6 Jan 15). After exploding it doesn't have the file node_version in the base dir. So complains there is no default version.

I created the file manually with some version and it works.

The install instructions tell you to run nodist selfupdate after unzipping and setting env vars. This should install the latest stable version globally.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the suggestion above.
Fails due to - #71

NODIST_X64=1 is set as the ENV variable.

Closing as this is covered by #71
