Looks like code at https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/module.js#L590:

var paths = [path.resolve(process.execPath, '..', '..', 'lib', 'node')];

is Unix specific and since nodejs is installed as c:\program files\nodejs\node.exe the base path resolved to 'C:\\Program Files\\lib\\node', and it's pointless.

Guess this should be fixed to path.resolve(process.env.AppData, 'npm', 'node_modules') for windows, or something similar since right there node_modules are placed by default in win7+.
