Error installing Cordova using cli.

[Jimboidaho]

I was trying to upgrade Cordova and I got an error that my npm was and old version so I proceeded to update node and npm and now I get the error below when trying to install Cordova.  Some details 

Using windows 10

node version 6.9.2

npm version 4.0.5

I am using this command line "npm install -g  cordova"

Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem.  I had to rename this folder C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova and then cordova installed correcly 

I still have a question about what this warning means?

npm WARN deprecated node...@1.4.7: use uuid module instead

Thanks.

The warning can be safely ignored.
