nodejs- Error: ENOENT, stat when using npm in Windows8

Question

Installed the latest node.js on Windows8. If I type

 npm -version

in the command console I correctly see

1.4.23

However, whenever I use the install command, regardless of the argument, I get the following error

Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\npm'

What gives? Could this be a permissions issue or?

you can just create an empty folder with "npm" name in path shown in Error

I had the same problem when I tried to install NPM on my work computer. I believe that there is a problem with the installer. I fixed this problem by installing an older version of NPM.

or you can add the folder npm under AppData/Roaming.

Look at this for more information: node.js and npm for windows

I had the same Problem in Windows 8.1 MSDN-VM.

creating the npm Folder manualy fixed it for me. C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming**npm**
