Running npm install from Sublime Text 2 doesn't work

I am trying to set up Sublime Text 2 to have a build system that runs npm install. My .sublime-build file looks like this:

{
    "cmd": ["npm", "install"],
    "shell": true
}

However, when I try to build, I get the following error:

'node' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I also get a series of similar messages about doskey, likely originating from a batch file that I have set to run when cmd.exe is started (as demonstrated in this SO answer).

What is causing this problem? I'm not welded to this solution - I'm open to anything that will allow me to run npm install from ST2.

It turns out that my PATH wasn't updating correctly. I don't know if this is actually what was causing the issue or not, but simply restarting Sublime Text has fixed it.
