I installed node, bower and the polymer cli on a Windows 7 machine.
If I choose the "polymer-2-element" option and then defaults for the rest of the questions, the CLI builds a project but there is no bower_components folder created in the project. There are no bower errors as it downloads files. It is putting the files in the AppData\Local\bower\cache folder.
If I run the app with "polymer serve --open", the browser console shows 404's for anything in the bower_components folder.
Any ideas?
