Issue

I'm using truffle with a Node.js project, and when I attempt to migrate the project, I get the following error:
Windows Script Host

However, when I use the suggested fix, which is to rename the truffle.js file to something other than truffle.js (i.e. truffle-config.js), then I get a different error:

Could not find suitable configuration file.

When I rename the configuration file back to "truffle.js", then I get the first error all over again.
The solutions I've tried have included using Windows Powershell to run the program and running the command npm install --force -g truffle, neither of which have worked. I've looked into the recommended solution (#150), and none of the proposed solutions have worked so far.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• Truffle version: v3.3.0
• node version: 6.11.0

Reproducing the Error

You must be using Windows 10, the project runs correctly with Linux. Run truffle migrate. You will get an error from Windows Script Host that will say 'module' is undefined. Change the name of the truffle Javascript file to truffle-config.js. Run truffle migrate again. You will get an error that says Could not find suitable configuration file. Change the name of the truffle-config.js file back to truffle.js. Run truffle migrate and you will get the 'module' is undefined error again.
