Error reported using PowerShell with Admin permission:
You wanted to install npm 5.6.0, but the installed version is 5.5.1.
A common reason is an attempted "npm install npm" or "npm upgrade npm". As of today, the only solution is to completely uninstall and then reinstall Node.js. For a small tutorial, please see http://aka.ms/fix-npm-upgrade.

Was there any other error output?

I have repeated the procedure described on the npm page again today and captured a screenshot of all
the information at my disposal.

Had the exact same issue for me as well just a different minor node version (8.9.3). I can confirm that I did initially execute npm i -g npm when I noticed nvm inform me that there was a new version trying to go from 5.5 to 5.6.

I'm in the process of uninstalling node 8.9.3 and reinstalling it. I do have 9.3.0 installed as well as 8.9.3 if that has any impact on the scenario.

I received this exact output on Windows 10 Enterprise. Additional details that might be helpful:

  • Installed nvm via chocolatey to manage node versions

  • Before receiving the error I did attempt the command to self install

  • After the error I uninstalled node and reinstalled nvm uninstall 10.1 and then nvm install 10.1, nvm use 10.1, nvm on

  • After reinstall of node and npm, I run the install of npm-windows-upgrade again and run the command to again receive the output below:

PS C:\Windows\system32> npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version latest
npm-windows-upgrade v5.0.0
Checked system for npm installation:
According to PowerShell: C:\Program Files\nodejs
According to npm:        C:\Program Files\nodejs
Decided that npm is installed in C:\Program Files\nodejs

You wanted to install npm 6.3.0, but the installed version is 5.6.0.
