`nvmw install` fails on first attempt with "Can't get npm" error. about nvmw HOT 7 OPEN

Same happens here. It always fails on first attempt with Can't get 'content-length'. @fengmk2 any ideas what goes wrong in first attempt?

I had the same problem, running CMD as administrator solved it for me. (I had to run it a couple times before it worked)

@omerts got this issue on x64 Windows 8.1. Running CMD as admin worked for me.

+1 I had a similar issue before and it would work on the second try, now says the version already exists and doesn't get npm along with node.

However if I run it once, leave the command window open, delete the newly installed node version folder and rerun it works as expected
