Description

Sorry, didn't realize I had accidentally committed an empty comment. I am having trouble installing:

meteor add vsivsi:job-collection

It stays stuck on Loading... vsivsi:job-collection@1.5.1... for hours?!

I stopped it, and successfully added and removed other packages without issues. I updated Meteor to 1.4.4_1 and still get the same problem.

Is there a log I can look at to see what's taking so long?

Research direction
Investigate the installation hang on Windows 10 when adding vsivsi:job collection@1.5.1. Check if there are Windows specific issues with the Meteor build tool, such as path length limitations or native module compilation. Look at the comments in issue #231 for any clues or workarounds. Consider reproducing the issue in a Windows VM and examining the Meteor log file (usually at .meteor/local/log). If the root cause is identified, propose a fix such as updating a dependency or adding a Windows specific install script.
