Try node -v make sure node is installed. Then command should be npm install -g your_package

You said your Windows is 32-bit, but the error message showed “Program Files (x86)”, which should probably not the intended case, since “Program Files (x86)” should only appears in 64-bit version of Windows; and the 32-bit Windows only contains 1-and-only-1 “Program Files”.

Either the node installer was wrong with the path, or you/your script/npm.cmd, or something similar, has prematurely pointed to wrong location.

If that was really npm.cmd issue, you should report bug to nodejs.

To verify, try this

cd "C:\Program Files\nodejs"; .\npm -v
