Getting npm install issues when build angular2 source - npm

Question

I want to build angular2 source on my windows 8.1 x64 dev PC.
Node version 5.1.0
Npm version 3.3.12
1) cloned the repo - OK
2) run bower install - OK
3) run npm install - Errors:
npm ERR! tar.unpack unzip error C:\Windows\Temp\npm-11016-2e7afc52\registry.npmj
s.org\fsevents\-\fsevents-1.0.2.tgz
npm ERR! tar.unpack untar error C:\Windows\Temp\npm-11016-2e7afc52\registry.npmj

npm ERR! tar.unpack untar error C:\Windows\Temp\npm-11016-2e7afc52\registry.npmj
s.org\firefox-profile\-\firefox-profile-0.3.9.tgz
Do you have any ideas how can I fix that?
I tried to cleanup the cache and also make sure that it is actually did by lookin in to npm cache folder C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache. Also I was trying to reclone the repo an run a precess again multipe times but npm install just continue to throw the same exeptions again and again

Use the following process
Create C:\Windows\Temp\ if it does not exist
Create a dummy folder within C:\Windows\Temp\ if it does exist
Run npm config ls -l
Temporary files are stored by default in the folder specified by the tmp config, which defaults to the TMPDIR, TMP, or TEMP environment variables, or /tmp on Unix and c:\windows\temp on Windows.
Temp files are given a unique folder under this root for each run of the program, and are deleted upon successful exit.
Change the tmp var to a new path by editing one of the .npmrc files:
The four relevant files are:
per-project config file (/path/to/my/project/.npmrc)
per-user config file (~/.npmrc)
global config file ($PREFIX/etc/npmrc)
npm builtin config file (/path/to/npm/npmrc)
