> If the npm is run without the wrong(*) content in npmrc, then as you may see, 'cordova create' fails, even when the npm is allready able to work as expected. [^correct__g_install_fail_npmrc.png]
> If you are not comfort with the "local install" override (CB-13587), or the npmrc content deletition, then you might find the command '*npm install -g cordova --prefix D:\mynodejsdirectory*' more compliant with correct usage. And as you may see ([^correct__g_install_fail_using_prefix.png]), the error is manifested in all three (**) solutions presented here, in two of them even despite the required '-g' install.
> (*)  incorrect handling of npmrc file containing the string 'prefix=${APPDATA}\npm' in contrast to the expected behvaior as described in https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/npm#directories
> (**) The third one is to install the module into the global node_modules in the nodejs installation directory in the same manner as a local install (eg. cd into my_nodejs_install_dir and doing an 'npm install cordova') which however due to a higher reason has been agreed as an unsupported method, for details see CB-13587)
