You are not allowed to write to C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\ . Check your npm configuration, it should not be trying to store packages there.

Run npm config get prefix to determine the current npm folders prefix. On my Windows machine this will return something in the form:

C:\\Users\\<My Username>\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm

which is a user writable location.
