NodeJS is no longer bundling an up to date `NPM` package, currently shipping with v1.4.28, now post install running `npm update -g` will update to NPM v2.1.10 at time of writing
Instead of downloading `npm` separate from `node`, download them together and remove the bundled `npmrc` file that makes global modules get installed in `%appdata%\Roaming\npm`.
