NpmBridge Exception

[RGattapur]

I downloaded the latest release package and ran composer install.
It did get all the required extension packages, however, the NPM bridge is throwing following exception:

[Eloquent\Composer\NpmBridge\Exception\NpmCommandFailedException]
Execution of '"C:\Program Files\nodejs\\npm.CMD" "install" "--production" "--prefix" "views"' failed.

I found in the npm debug log that the NPM bridge was looking for package.json file at a folder where it didn't exists.
Example: tao-community\taoItems\package.json - no such file or directory. Instead package.json file is present inside views folder of taoItems i.e. \tao-community\taoItems\views.

What should be the fix to this?
