I have installed node.js on Windows 7 with their latest installer. It seemed to work, I can call npm and node from the console (either cmd or PowerShell), but I keep getting errors.
There are a lot of questions here about node.js on windows, but they all mention some specific piece of code. I'm getting the "spawn ENOENT" with a lot of simple commands, for instance yo, if I then pick "update generators" :
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: spawn ENOENT
at errnoException (child_process.js:988:11)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:779:34)
even npm faq fails :
PS E:\www\something> npm faq

It seems that the problem is that node uses unix command names like dir, which do not exist on Windows. Some blog posts mention using Cygwin, but mostly for building node.js, not for calling it. The official nodejs website doesn't mention that cygwin is a prerequisite, either.
Here's the npm-debug.log :

Make sure that you have c:\Windows\System32 on your 'Path' System Variable. I was having this exact problem and this was the fix I needed. I must have taken it out in error sometime in the past.

I've been struggling to fix the common 'cross-env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, problem with NPM in a Laravel 9.x project on a Windows 10 machine. I've gone over most of the other similar topics but I can't find a solution that works and I'm not familiar with yarn which is what a lot of the answers involve.
npm install -g cross-env was used but trying to run NPM then gave a path error:
> development
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-mde_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js
The system cannot find the path specified.

}

To solve this I used the command npm config set script-shell bash as suggested here
But this then gives a 'NOENT' problem that I can't find a good solution for to fix (or revert back)

Hi Im installing the loopback-cli.

Setup before fixing:
lb -v 4.2.1 (generator-loopback#5.9.4 loopback-workspace#4.5.0)
node -v v10.13.0
OS: Windows 10 Home
I was able to fix the issue after taking the following steps:
Install node v8.12.0
Install OpenSSL 1.1 in C:\OpenSSL-Win64 (strong-ursa hard codes the location)
Create a symbolic link in C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib named libeay64.lib which targets libcrypto.lib.
Run npm i -g windows-build-tools
Run npm i -g looback-cli again.
I'm not sure if rolling back the NodeJS version to 8.12 is necessary. There are a few widely, albeit not well documented pain points working with Loopback due to strong-ursa's use of native libraries. (Please note, this is unconfirmed information as I'm in a hurry to get back to developing the project at hand.) These steps allowed me to continue using Loopback CLI unhindered.

I'm not familiar at all with using Node on Windows. Please help, thank you. (NOTE: I've replaced specific user folder information above with \ to sanitize the info.)
One possible cause is security software that filters access to the file system, like DigitalGuardian. If it's a corporate machine with something like that installed, you may need to get your IT people to whitelist Node.

20 verbose exit [ 1, true ]
child_process.spawn() returns ENOENT when it can't find the requested executable; in this case, node.exe. Looking closely at the log, we can see that npm start is attempting to run node app.js.
Is node on your PATH? What happens if you just type node app.js on the command line?
Try this.It's working for me on Windows 7 32 bit node.js
Create new blank folder for your project.Go to your project folder and create manually npm folder (don't use command line).
Then try again create new project.
Hope this help.
