It does this from any folder on my machine, no matter what package, or even just 'npm install'. I've restarted, resintalled node.js, etc. I'm on a Windows 8.1 machine and wishing I had a Mac.\r\n\r\nThe crazy thing is it HAS worked. I got Composer, Laravel and a bunch of other stuff installed just fine, then one day, it just started doing this. I have no idea what could be interfering. Checking the TaskManager, npm IS running with like 18% CPU usage the whole time it's \"trying\" to install.\r\n\r\nApparently I'm the only one on Earth with this problem. I've searched and searched on Google and nothing. I'm resorting to Facebook and Google groups. So far no suggestions from SO users have helped, although I very much appreciate the attempts."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/npm/npm/issues/comments/191219905","html_url":"https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7590#issuecomment-191219905","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/npm/npm/issues/7590","id":191219905,"user":{"login":"PyroSA","id":3801259,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3801259?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA","html_url":"https://github.com/PyroSA","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/PyroSA/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-02T12:24:34Z","updated_at":"2016-03-02T12:24:34Z","body":"Had a similar one on a colleagues's machine.\r\nTEMP was set to two folders separated with a semi-colon for some reason."}}
