I followed the strongloop pre installation requirments (http://docs.strongloop.com/display/SL/Installing+Node+and+StrongLoop+on+Windows) and everything was set without problems. However , each time I execute 

npm install -g npm

the installation fails. In the npm-debug.log I see the reason for the failure is

info sqlite3@3.0.5 Failed to exec install script

sqlite3 was installed successfully in the global modules.

  • Try clearing your cache with `npm cache clear` and re-running `npm install -g strongloop`. – Ryann Graham Apr 07 '15 at 16:35
  • I tried that too and still had the error. – Roman Mik Apr 07 '15 at 18:33
  • I meant to do it at the time I commented, not asking whether you had tried that when you saw the error. There was a problem with a release of one of the dependencies and it has seen been rolled back. Clearing your cache and trying again should work. – Ryann Graham Apr 10 '15 at 01:28

I opened my CMD in administrator's mode, and by default it opens in

c:\Windows\system32

executing 

  c:\Windows\system32> npm install -g strongloop

fails with the error in the question. However, executing from the C:\ is OK.

C:\> npm install -g npm
