2.Then proceeded to install elm-format but error below indicated
3.elm 0.18 is successfully installed and runs without issue.
## ### Error Indicated at npm install of elm-format
> elm-format@0.0.0 install C:\mydir\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\elm-format

Research direction
Start by reproducing `npm install -g elm-format` on the reported Windows 7 x64 environment and inspect the `install.js` step that reports unavailable binaries. Compare the package's supported platform and architecture data with this environment; done means the installation completes successfully or the limitation is documented clearly.
