module installation with npm throws permissions error (windows)

[underzero]

npm install --save gcloud throws permission errors.
A week ago it was working perfectly

I have already moved the npm cache to a new directory with full access

this is the log

Part of the [hya-io][hya-io] family of products.\r\n\r\n## Authorization\r\n\r\nWith `gcloud-node` it\'s incredibly easy to get authorized and start using Google\'s APIs. You can set your credentials on a global basis as well as on a per-API basis. See each individual API section below to see how you can auth on a per-API-basis. This is useful if you want to use different accounts for different Google Cloud services.\r\n\r\n### On Google Compute Engine\r\n\r\nIf you are running this client on Google Compute Engine, we handle authorization for you with no configuration. You just need to make sure that when you [set up the GCE instance][gce-how-to], you add the correct scopes for the APIs you want to access.\r\n\r\n``` js\r\n// Authorizing on a global basis.\r\nvar projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID; // E.g. \'grape-spaceship-123\'\r\nvar gcloud = require(\'gcloud\')({\r\n  projectId: projectId\r\n});\r\n\r\n// ...you\'re good to go! See the next section to get started using the APIs.\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Elsewhere\r\n\r\nIf you are not running this client on Google Compute Engine, you need a Google Developers service account. To create a service account:\r\n\r\n1. Visit the [Google Developers Console][dev-console].\r\n2. Create a new project or click on an existing project.\r\n3. Navigate to  **APIs & auth** > **APIs section** and turn on the following APIs (you may need to enable billing in order to use these services):\r\n  * Google Cloud Datastore API\r\n  * Google Cloud Storage\r\n  * Google Cloud Storage JSON API\r\n4. Navigate to **APIs & auth** >  **Credentials** and then:\r\n  * If you want to use a new service account, click on **Create new Client ID** and select **Service account**. After the account is created, you will be prompted to download the JSON key file that the library uses to authorize your requests.\r\n  * If you want to generate a new key for an existing service account, click on **Generate new JSON key** and download the JSON key file.\r\n\r\n``` js\r\n// Authorizing on a global basis.\r\nvar projectId = process.env.GCLOUD_PROJECT_ID; // E.g. \'grape-spaceship-123\'\r\n\r\nvar gcloud = require(\'gcloud\')({\r\n  projectId: projectId,\r\n  keyFilename: \'/path/to/keyfile.json\'\r\n});\r\n\r\n// ...you\'re good to go! See the next section to get started using the APIs.\r\n```\r\n\r\nYou can also set auth on a per-API-instance basis. The examples below show you how.\r\n\r\n\r\n## Google BigQuery\r\n\r\n- [API Documentation][gcloud-bigquery-docs]\r\n- [Official Documentation][cloud-bigquery-docs]\r\n\r\n#### Preview\r\n\r\n```js\r\nvar gcloud = require(\'gcloud\');\r\n\r\n// Authorizing on a per-API-basis.

Hey, I attempted to reproduce this locally but it installed successfully for me.

errno: -4048

I think this occurs when windows locks up a file, have you tried restarting your machine?

You also mentioned that it installed fine a week ago, did you update node/npm or your npm-cache directory since the last successful update? Have you tried rolling back your version of node? I've read about some funkiness involving node v0.12.x and Windows.

Yes I have updated node and npm to the latest version but before that i was again in the 0.12.x.
I will try rolling back though and see what happens

Update: Rolling back to node 0.12.6 solves the issue.

awesome!
