Error message in cmd.exe

Hi I'm not able to use npm on Windows 8.1 64bit. It shows the error message as in image link. I have installed nodejs v5.7.1

ERROR MESSAGE: 'CALL "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules \npm\bin\npm-cli.js" prefix -g' is not recognized as an internal or external com mand, operable program or batch file. 3.6.0

Tried changing PATH variables and installing a fresh copy in a different drive also

Please help. Thanks

windows-8.1 npm npm-install node.js

Go to your environment variables and on the system variables section remove the ComSpec variable

First delete this two folders

  • C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\npm
  • C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\npm cache

Then delete the Comspec system variable.

It works definitely on windows machine.
