How can I update npm on Windows?

Answer 1

For me, after totally uninstalling node. 10.29, and then installing node 4.2.2, there remained a 10.29 node.exe file in my c:\windows folder.

I found this by using the following command:

where.exe node

The command returned:

C:\Windows\node.exe
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe

So even though I had successfully installed version 4.2.2 via the msi executable, the command "node -v" would continue to return 10.29.

I resolved this by deleting this file:

C:\Windows\node.exe
