So while trying to do an node-sass install, getting the following error as shown below, i am not sure from where it's trying to access 4.6.0 when the binary path is set in .npmrc as 'sass_binary_path=C:\Users\vu313e\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\node-sass\4.5.3' and i had placed the win32-x64-57_binding.node under the 4.5.3 folder

$ npm install node-sass

node-sass@4.6.0 install C:\Users\vu313e\Documents\CSHS_Bing\CSHS\SourceCode\CSH-UI\node_modules\node-sass
