Is Worklight-CLI installer broken?

Question

I'm trying out the Worklight CLI tools in order to automate the setup of new Worklight projects. The problem is that downloading the latest (at the time of writing) version 201409222259 from Fix Central it seems that the bundled generator-worklight and generator-worklight-server node modules are empty (they contain only dependencies). The result is that once having completed the installation, executing the wl tool gives me this error:

D:\>wl help

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'D:\IBM\Worklight-CLI\worklight-cli\bin\worklight-cli.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
    at startup (node.js:119:16)
    at node.js:902:3

(Note, I'm installing on Windows 8.1, following the instructions on setting compatibility mode)

Checking the previous versions up to now, it seems that this problem appeared as of version 201409181910, whereas previous versions (e.g. 201409171241) contain all expected resources. Finally, even checking the file sizes on Fix Central the problem seems obvious since the CLI bundle size dropped from about 367MB to 236MB for version 201409181910 (the first problematic one).

My question is: Is the CLI's installer indeed broken in the last versions or is there a different installation approach that needs to be followed?

A new Interim Fix, 201410022218, which addresses the CLI issue is now available on Fix Central. You do not need to upgrade your server components to utilize the CLI fix, although not doing so may prevent you from taking advantage of some of the other fixes that were added since your previous update.
