Background
I have package.json with a bunch of development dependencies.
I use local install i.e. npm install with my package.json
node -v v0.10.26
npm -v 1.4.4
Windows 7 x32bit
Problem
On fresh first try with no ./node_modules present (i.e. fresh) I get various errors.
Some of them are related to npm_cache and locks saying that I need to run as Administrator. Why?
Why does the subsequent npm install succeeds.
Questions
Why should subsequent install should succeed ? I am not interested why they fail - there could be various reasons and perhaps each need to be dealt with well.
Can deleting local ./node_modules folder manually cause any issues that are relate to this topic ?
