I am getting the following error while installing gulp using nodejs on my windows OS. The following is the error I get when I type: 

npm install -g gulp

This is the output I get:

npm ERR! v8flags@1.0.1 install: `node fetch.js` 
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT 
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the v8flags@1.0.1 install script.
npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the v8flags package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     node fetch.js
npm ERR! You can get their info via:
npm ERR!     npm owner ls v8flags
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

    Can you post the output of `npm --loglevel=silly install -g gulp` somewhere? – mscdex Nov 02 '14 at 14:20
  • @mscdex: Yes I did run the command, but the logs are too big, Can you send me your email so I can mail you the log? https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/ff53dc96c7cf9422f00a1cb8672804a420141102145042/fe3edd2ecc104cd167b4522573a0b2f620141102145042/1b697f – user1585567 Nov 02 '14 at 14:48
  • I have tried to upload it on wetransfer and have sent you the link.. let me know if you can download it – user1585567 Nov 02 '14 at 15:21
  • Is your `PATH` environment variable set up properly (since it seems like your `Users` and `Program Files` directories are on different drives)? What does `where node` output when you execute it from a command prompt? – mscdex Nov 02 '14 at 15:36
  • Can you also post the output of "npm install -g gulp -verbose"? – learn_develop Nov 03 '14 at 09:52
  • Yes, back then I was trying to uninstall and perhaps install it on my E: drive. I did install it back in the default C: drive but its still not working. Please find the link contain the verbose details. https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/5ff7d6f50f3e7e568af60710533fa72320141103121920/b0924747b00c68c3e6ef0d594f0a85b620141103121920/5beea5 – user1585567 Nov 03 '14 at 12:23
  • Hi I have some new updates.. I uninstall the latest nodejs - node-v0.10.33-x64 and I installed a prev version of nodejs - node-v0.10.29-x64 I then ran npm install gulp / npm install -g gulp and I donot get any errors. – user1585567 Nov 03 '14 at 13:35
  • However, now if I enter gulp - it says its not recognized as a internal/external command. I even tried setting the the NODE_JS environment variable on both my User/System environment but still getting the error. :( – user1585567 Nov 03 '14 at 13:36
