Install a stable version instead of the latest one, I have downgrade my version to node-v0.10.29-x86.msi from 'node-v0.10.33-x86.msi' and it is working well for me!

I recommend setting an alternative location for your npm modules   npm config set prefix C  Dev npm-repository npm --global  npm config set cache C  Dev npm-repository npm-cache --global     Of course you can set the location to wherever best suits   This has worked well for me and gets around any permissions issues that you may encounter

This can also be fixed by installing a node package manually   npm install npm -g   The process of doing that will setup all the required directories

I ran into the same problem while installing a package via npm    After creating the npm folder manually in C  Users UserName AppData Roaming  that particular error was gone  but it gave similar multiple errors as it tried to create additional directories in the npm folder and failed  The issue was resolved after running the command prompt as an administrator

I needed a package from github that was written in typscript   I did a git pull of the most recent version from the master branch into the root of my main project   I then went into the directory and did an npm install so that the gulp commands would work that generates ES5 modules  Anyway  to make the long story short  my build process was trying to build files from this new folder so I had to move it out of my root   This was causing these same errors

Manually creating a folder named  npm  in the displayed path fixed the problem   More information can be found on Troubleshooting page
