This can happen if you are using io.js rather than node. Unfortunately this issue is due to an [issue with a library](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/751) we depend on and such is currently out of our control. The problem is a side effect of iojs aliasing the `node.exe` binary to itself.
To work around this now be sure to execute your node commands using `iojs` instead of `node` i.e.
```sh
$ iojs ./node_modules/.bin/node-sass --version
```
If this didn't solve your problem please open an issue with the output from [our debugging script](#debugging-installation-issues).
