Poor initial experience when Node.js is not installed #1069

@mousetraps

Description

@mousetraps
Expected Behavior

We warn that Node.js is not installed (preferably in the document well, rather than in a modal dialog)

Actual Behavior

IntelliSense doesn't work because typings haven't been downloaded because typings hasn't been installed because npm hasn't been installed because node hasn't been installed 😉, and the only indication is this awesome error in Bower/npm window "Error - Cannot load global packages."

If you try debugging, you'll get a modal dialog, but it's a confusing experience until then.
