Tried this. Still no luck. According to @tezza it was working on 1.0.15. Maybe we're both missing something. My apm -v shows:
apm 1.0.5
npm 2.13.3
node 0.10.40
python
git 2.5.3.windows.1
visual studio
so I think that should be fine.
I'll probably just switch to a VM for now, but it'd be great if it would work on Windows. Trying to get a common workflow for my team and it would be much easier for them on Windows.
