NPM error while installing can-validate

[santoshgiridhar]

Currently, I deleted node_modules folder and did an NPM install and I get this error.

I'm not much of a "systems" guy but does this line

npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.10586

mean Windows 10?

We should be able to install it on any machine but I haven't tried it on any Windows machine. I'll have to locate a Windows 10 machine and debug from there.

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\santo\Workspace\workspace-adminModule\admin-console\node_modules\can-validate\docs\can-validate-plugin|changelog.html'

I'm uncertain why npm install is looking for can-validate's documentation files but that seems to be the point where it fails, yes?

You can get prebuilt VM images for Windows 10 directly from Microsoft; they're intended for testing IE/Edge versions but I don't see why you couldn't use them for node builds.

I am experiencing the same issue on Windows 8.1. Any ideas? Could it have something to do with that pipe character (|)?

update:

I also tested on a Windows 7 machine with the same result.

Also have to mention that in both OS versions the following error is also shown:

npm ERR! tar.unpack untar error C:\Users\eben.roux\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\can-validate\0.9.2\package.tgz
