Couldn't install anything ... took me about an hour reading all clodes issues to find this:
https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/1990
It almost solved, the only change is that there's no need of " \ " in windows CMD.
This sholuld be posted somewhere easier to find ... there are plenty of ppl wih the same issue.
