   Same for me. I am googling it right now to understand what could be going wrong in the appveyor environment

   Nothing has been changed in AppVeyor environment overnight. Last update was on June 20: http://www.appveyor.com/updates

   Thought seems like it fails on installing npm 2.12.0. You are pulling the latest version - maybe something changed there?

   That's right. It is due to some change in npm versions released recently
   https://github.com/npm/npm/tags
   Tried different version and got same error with v2.12.0, v2.12.1 and v3.0.0
   Last npm version which works without any problem is v2.11.3
   Now I explicitly install v2.11.3 instead of getting latest version and it works fine.
   npm -g install npm@2.11.3

   Thanks for sharing the finding. Regarding npm, do you know what could cause this "process.getuid not a function" error?

   Interesting, according to this page npm 2.12.0 was released 7 days ago, but this build ran 4 days ago was pulling 2.11.3: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/av-build-problem/buil...

   Now, when it pull 2.12.0 it breaks with a similar error: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/av-build-problem/buil...

   I'm going to file an issue there.

   Can you check in your build logs please if npm 2.12.0 started to be downloaded just today?

   Feodor - checked build logs. Yes until yesterday 2.11.3 was being downloaded but around 7 hours ago from now 2.12.0 started downloading as a result of
   npm -g install npm@2 and builds started failing.
