generator-angular-fullstack No Bower components found

Question

I am new in yo generators and I am being experimented on many of them. I set up an angular scaffold with no problems and I tried to do the same by setting up an angular-fullstack scaffold to test MEAN. Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky as I was with angular and I got the error message 'No Bower components found'. Besides I had the .bowerrc file, the generator was unable to create the relevant folder.

I was trying to figure it out what is happening and what caused that issue. All of a sudden I realized that when setting up the app in c:\folderOne\folderTwo was working in contrary of c:\folderOne\folderTwo\folderThree where didn't. So I did the assumption that something is happening with the length of the path and in the same time I had a thought that something is happening with the filesystem levels.

I made many many different 'installations' in different environments and the behavior was different from each other. So, there isn't a level problem nor length issue.

Does anyone had a similar problem with that? What can I do for having a stability?

my system have the following characteristics

node: '0.10.25'
npm: '1.3.24'
yo: '1.1.2'
os: win7

those are the steps I followed

yo angular-fullstack

Try running bower install in the project root.
