> PS C:\OpenServer\domains\the_witcher_3_wild_hunt> npm install gulp -g
> npm ERR! path \\DOM-PDC\HomeWin7$\ npm ERR! code ELOOP npm ERR! errno

Edit:

• I have read this related issue and can confirm that no previous version of gulp is installed.
• I have also cleared the npm cache by running; npm cache clean --force , however the same problem still persists.
