I want to handle a soap and wsdl service from node.js,for the initial startup i downloaded the node-soap module and ran the example js file it asked me to download modules like node-expat after that it gave me the following error
> Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/node_expat.node'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)

any idea as how to handle the above issues will be really helpful! Thanks in advance!
It looks like your dependencies for the soap module didn't get installed properly. Did you run "npm install soap" from your node root directory?
looks like an install issue,
i see you are on windows, - node_expat compiles some binary plugin I have noticed in their project folder a .cc ... i have seen other packages do this, under mac/linux if you have compiler tools installed it simply compiles the plugins and installs fine.
under windows i think it will be a little more convoluted, you could try installing the following:
Windows XP/Vista/7: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (Express version works well) For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows 7 64-bit SDK If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may also need the compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
Windows 8: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012 for Windows Desktop (Express version works well)
I think with the express version npm will pick up your dev toolchain as msvc and compile up the node_expat extension....
