npm error
npm error The operation was rejected by your operating system.
npm error It's possible that the file was already in use (by a text editor or antivirus),
npm error or that you lack permissions to access it.
npm error
npm error If you believe this might be a permissions issue, please double-check the
npm error permissions of the file and its containing directories, or try running
npm error the command again as root/Administrator.
Z: is a ramdrive(ImDisk).
Obviously making directories and downloading files should not fail and in general it does work. I can also use the command on a normal drive. The FS is NTFS. It does have some issues with some programs here and there(it is rare but every once in a while something doesn't quite work... typically related to the recycle bin).
Expected Behavior
It should work. The ramdrive should not interfer with standard file operations.
Steps To Reproduce
Install ImDisk RamDisk, use npm install from it.
Environment
; node version = v23.10.0
; npm local prefix = Z:
