Node v0.12.2 bundles broken npm v 2.7.4

[tsvendsen]

The npm v 2.7.4 seems like it has some problems when searching for dependencies and the registry url have a path. The search only uses hostname/-/all instead of entire registry url property.
e.g http://hostname/nexus/content/groups/npm-all/ will result in a get to http://hostname/-/all when building index.

npm install -g npm@latest states that 2.7.6 is the latest, but it does not update the npm which is bundled. (see other bugs on node not using the one in AppData)

However the 2.7.6 version seems to have fixed this, so providing a build of the node installer with npm version 2.7.6 would fix the problem.

As a workaround I updated npm in the node directory by going to node installation folder running npm install npm@latest

I am also seeing this with npm 2.7.4.

It is fixed in 2.7.5 (npm/npm#7443) but as you say, the broken version is bundled with nodejs 0.12.2.
