Now that Windows was aware of the forgotten NodeJS installation, I was able to uninstall my existing version of NodeJS completely. Better yet, it also added an official entry in Add/Remove Programs dialogue. That solution worked, and it reinstalled NodeJS without any errors. SOLUTION: After spending several hours troubleshooting the problem, including upgrading NPM, I decided to reinstall the EXACT version of NodeJS on my system, over the top of the existing installation.

I ran into a problem where my version of NodeJS (0.10.26) could NOT be uninstalled nor removed, because Programs & Features in Windows 7 (aka Add/Remove Programs) had no record of my having installed NodeJS. Scenario: Removing NodeJS when Windows has no Program Entry for your Node installation Select Administrator and click on Change the Account. Select the account which you want to change. Under make changes to your account, click on Manage another account.
