title: Error while using create-react-app - ENOENT
body: <p>New Node &amp; React user here. I'm following the <a href="https://reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">React tutorial</a> but run into a problem on my Windows 10 machine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Wout&gt;create-react-app my-app
  
  Creating a new React app in C:\Users\Wout\my-app.
  
  Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
  Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Things I've tried so far:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Reinstall Node.js (v8.10.0, npm 5.6.0)</li>
  <li>Disabling Adobe creative cloud sync &amp; related processes (these were spawning node.exe processes)</li>
  <li>Running CMD in admin</li>
  <li>Run the command from VS Code Powershell</li>
  <li>Closing Visual Studio Code before executing the command</li>
  <li>Run the command with npx</li>
  <li>Rebooted the system several times</li>
  <li>Running the command from the user folder as well as other drives</li>
  <li>Running the Typescript version: <code>create-react-app my-app --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It's all quite strange to me, since on Mac OS X the command executes without issues. I also can't seem to find other people with the same problem.</p>
  
  <p>For what it's worth, it always stops after this "finalizing abab" package step.</p>
  
  <p>I have an installation of XAMPP running an Apache and MySQL service, don't know if that has anything to do with it. I don't think so since I'm not even running the app yet, plus the server runs on port 3000 anyway.</p>
