I had a similar issue, when I installed on a fresh Windows 10 machine.

After testing and trying a lot, I thought what was different to my old installation.

Then, I came up, that GIT was not yet installed.

So, I installed GIT and REINSTALLED NODE + NPM and NOW-CLI

Then, everything worked fine.

Also have a look at my articles on the NOW UI Experience:

Article #11 - Fast Track to your first "Now Experience UI Framework Component"

Give that a shot and let me know.

Let me know if that answers your question and mark my answer as correct and helpful.

Did you Install "GIT" then as well?

https://git-scm.com/download

THAT was the solving point for me!

OK, thanks for that update.

Can you please check, if you have the following file (see screenshot):

yours should be in the folder:

C:\SnowDoctor\node_modules\@servicenow\cli-component-archetype-dev\conf\develop\pre

Just let me know, if that file exists on your machine?

That is interesting.

I do not know all the dependencies yet, but I am trying to find out the root cause.

As said, I had similar issues, and installed the following Software AGAIN in the following order:

> GIT

> NODE with NPM

> NOW-CLI

AFTER THAT, I created a "brand-new" project and called the "npm install" after doing the scaffolding.

That finally solved my issue, so something with these dependencies sorted this out.

Maybe (I know, this may be annoying, but maybe it also solves your issue) you can try this in THAT order (WITH a NEW Project please) on your machine.

I hope this will help also on your computer.

I am very interested in learning about the dependencies, existing.

Good luck!

Please let me know, if that gave some success.

Dirk
