Product: Aptana Studio -- Error 4155. Failed to correctly acquire installer_nodejs_windows.msi

Question

I’ve installed the latest official node.js but I’m getting an installer error that it can't acquire node.js.

Does anyone know if this is a bug and if there’s a workaround? Right now I cant get Aptana to install.

I ran into the same issue because I had the 64 bit version of Node.JS installed and Aptana needs the 32 bit version. — Peopleware, Jan 07 '16 at 14:07

~~Install this: http://go.aptana.com/installer_nodejs_windows and then run the Aptana installer again.~~

UPDATE: Link seems to be dead. Go to node.js homepage and download it from there. https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Does this affect my previous installation of nodejs on my computer? I have already nodejs installed. – Neon Warge Jan 03 '16 at 08:43

It shouldn't. Also, if you already have nodejs, you shouldn't have any problems installing aptana. – Orejano Jan 14 '16 at 11:59

I've installed a more recent version of Node.js but It didn't work. It worked with the executable of your link. – andreshg112 Feb 14 '16 at 00:47

worked for me. Just know that your computer might not want to run the program, saying it is "unsafe." in this case I ran it anyway. :) Also, I had the newer version of node.js installed. Install this one anyway. – Dylan L. Mar 13 '16 at 02:33
Thanks! This worked fine. Still don't know why, but it works! – Radmation Mar 29 '16 at 17:59
When I downloaded the latest version (v8.4.0) from https://nodejs.org/en/download/, it did not work. I then tried the link mentioned [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35924272/4660897) and downloaded node from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v0.10.13/ and it worked. – Tot Zam Sep 07 '17 at 02:08

To start work with Aptana Studio, just extract it from archive to your folder by command:

Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_3.6.1.exe /extract:"folder"

Launch:

AptanaStudio3.exe

And enjoy without nodejs_windows.msi

Issue appears to be with the installer itself. I can't get Aptana installed on any new systems including ones that had it previously installed.

You can use this install Aptana without node.js or git

Aptana_Studio_3_Setup_3.6.1 /passive /norestart

Issue has been reported see [APSTUD-8436](https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-8436) – Mark McBride Oct 27 '15 at 20:28
AWESOME answer.. This fixed my issue, while the others didn't. Note however, that it doesn't create ANY icons anywhere EXCEPT one on your desktop. – Malachi Aug 19 '17 at 20:37

(May 29 2017)

Just go download and install Nodejs from this URL:

http://titanium-studio.s3.amazonaws.com/nodejs/node-v0.10.13-x86.msi

After I did that Aptana installed properly for me!

EDIT:

Another issue that I had is that Aptana couldn't start due to the following issue: Failed to load the JNI shared library C:/JDK/bin/client/jvm.dll. That was because I had Java JDK 64 bits, but Aptana is x86 so it would complain about it until you install Java 32 bits.

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. - [From Review](/review/low-quality-posts/16259322) – Frits May 29 '17 at 06:55
Thanks @Frits! I think that if the link changes for some reason, people could just google for "node-v0.10.13-x86.msi" and I bet some alternatives could be found. In my case I made it to that URL by searching "http://go.aptana.com/installer_nodejs_windows" on the webarchive site "https://web.archive.org/" – Antony Fuentes May 29 '17 at 15:54

I tried Orejano's suggestion and the install succeeded. The installer did not revert my current version, instead installed another Node.js app published by Joyent, Inc (https://www.joyent.com/services/nodejs-support).

I too had the same problem while installing Aptana. Go to my computer and in the search button write installer_nodejs_windows.msi. It leads you to one search which is something like windows installer. Please click it and install the node that has been already provided to you rather than installing it by yourself. In this way, after a series of installation, set up the aptana and proceed accordingly. It gets installed.

I installed an earlier version of Aptana Studio from http://www.filehorse.com/download-aptana/19350/. I then updated with no problems.

You can always just install eclipse and download the "Eclipse Plug-In Version." I had the same problem and this was a quick work around.
