I know this is a noob question but I just start learning to code. I don't know why I cannot upgrade the current version of npm in my computer (5.5.1) to the newer one (8.1.2).
Can someone please help me with this?
There are couple of solutions I can think of:
Solution #1
Uninstall Node.js from your computer and install again. As the error message says, "use the version of npm that is bundled with Node.js". This is the preferred solution and very straightforward. Unless... you want to keep multiple versions of node in your computer, if that is the case, solution #2 will help.
Solution #2
Install a Node version manager (such as n). The package n allows you to download multiple versions of Node.js in your computer and switch between then when needed.
If the issue persists, you may have conflicting versions or directories in your computer. Please read this post about How to completely remove node.js from Windows. Then try re-installing from the website once you are done removing Node.

I installed Node.js on Windows version v14.15.5 for a project without checking anything on the prompts during the installation. Then at some point Node.js automagically updates to latest version v16... Any way to disable this update regardless what is happening in the code of the project or elsewhere in the system. Just wish to always keep same version that was installed or specific version, in this case v14.15.5. Thank you
Except nvm there is another reason for the automatic update.
Disclaimer: In my case it was Chocolatey.
Chocolatey can be installed as last step of node installation.
You should be able to stop this with chocolatey pin command.
Something like this:
choco pin add -n="nodejs"
choco pin add -n="nodejs.install"
I have a VS 2015 solution which requires I have the newest version of nodejs installed externally, and added to the External Web Tools path. (web project using a packages.json and gulp file to retrieve css/js modules and compile ssas at build time)
I also have older solutions that uses older versions of modules, and worked with the default versions of npm(1.4.9) and node(0.10.31). Once I installed newer nodejs externally and added to External Web Tools path, npm now throws various errors. As I work through errors I tend to to end up at github issues where someone had opened an issue and the responses were "you're using too old a version of node/npm".
In an ideal world we'd work through the old projects to get them on newer versions but this has a larger impact than is feasible.
Is there a way to specify that some projects use the default node/npm while other projects use the newer? I.e. a way to make the External Web Tools paths a proj/sln level setting instead of being a global Visual Studio setting.
You can use something like nvm.
In your project root directory, you would setup a .nvmrc and you would just set the version number in there. For example my file would have v10.9.0, and then I would just go into the directory and from the command line type the following:
nvm use
You can also have nvm set your npm version as well. See this answer
You can use Node Version Manager(NVM) to solve your problem
NVM allow to run multiple node version in single machine, You can switch on any node verion using NVM

would anybody happen to know the latest versions that work together on Windows Vista? I've been back and forth trying to get the right combination together but ng new never works for some reason or another.
(this is the older post showing what I already tried)
I'm having a bit of a problem here. I attempted to update angular/cli and I got errors telling me I need to update my version of node. I have windows vista so I'm pretty much stuck with node 5.7 and npm 3.6 until I can afford a new computer.
I tried uninstalling angular and clearing the cache and installing angular-cli#1.0.0-beta.14 and it installs. I can create a new project with it though it takes a long time to create it, and it also throws an error with node-pre-gyp. I came across an article on Github that said it's meant to be installed locally in the project and not globally. So I tried uninstalling, clearing cache and installing without -g to make it local within my project folder and it still has errors installing and I still can't serve my project.
How can I clear this all up and just start back with a clean slate of Angular2? I've looked around and everything I find leads me to the docs which are now updated to something beyond what my computer can handle.

Have you considered running Linux? There are many versions with a lightweight GUI that runs well on older hardware. Ubuntu Mate is an example. It's harder to run node on Windows because of symlinks.
I'll be attending a MS course tomorrow and I'm supposed to install NodeJs version 0.12.7. However, when I follow the link provided, I only get a directory listing of a bunch of files. And I'm certainly not sure which one(s) I need (I'm on Win 8).
I also tried with their front page but the versions advertised there are v.4.2.2 and v.5.0.0, which surprised me (cf. v.0.12.7). When I went to the downloads' section, I got totally confused by the overwhelming number of options, platforms, versions etc.
I trust my godlike ability to pick just the wrong option as well as my superpower of confusing everything to the edge of ridiculousness, so instead of cursing my rectum off, I prefer to ask straight how to obtain the requested version (v.0.12.7 for Win 8).
I would suggest nvm, it's great for node version management and installing any particular version of node you would like. https://github.com/creationix/nvm
If you're running 32-bit Windows, then you want the node-v0.12.7-x86.msi file in the directory in your link.
If you're running 64-bit Windows, then you want the node-v0.12.7-x64.msi file in the x64 subdirectory.
As #Ryan McDermott suggested, nvm is good. Another option, which I like, is nodenv: https://github.com/OiNutter/nodenv.
First, install nodenv. Then, install the plugin node-build (https://github.com/OiNutter/node-build). Then you can do the following:
nodenv install --list # list available node versions
nodenv install 0.12.7 # install the specified version
nodenv global 0.12.7 # use the specified version of node
I am working on Install shield 2013 Pro (Licensed version).
I created one installer(Version 1.00.000) which will install driver for wireless network adapter .
Now i need to create an installer (Version 2.00.000) which must 'Uninstall Previous version ' installed in the PC.
I read sme forum which uses upgrade code for Uninstalling the version but could'nt get enough idea on this.
Can i get a well explained solution for this. Please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance
The upgrade is done with the help of the upgradecode. This code must be the same for all product versions. This way Windows Installer can see two products are from the same family. The support from Windows Installer for controlling updates it also allows you to install allows you to decide the order of the upgrades, i.e. you can choose to first remove the old version and then install the new one, or to first install the new one and them remove the old version.
When doing upgrade you should also be careful on the package language and install type (per-user or per-machine). Windows Installer does not remove an older version if the install language or type is different from the one of the new version that is being installed.
