Description

unfortunately my pc user name is: s&a and because npm and node have problem with this user name i moved my npm and npm-cache folder to c:\npmGlobal and install node on my D drive and save path to my system variable and edit npmrpc file but when i try to use command ng update i got this error:

Hi @alan-agius4, could you point me in the right direction where/ what the problem is. I can have a look at this issue.

[alan-agius4]

Likely it's caused here

angular-cli/packages/angular/cli/tasks/install-package.ts

Lines 146 to 148 in 1873f2d

	const argv = [binPath, ...args];
	const { status, error } = spawnSync('node', argv, {

by unescaped paths.

Just an update, I've not have found the time to research this.

[abadi003]

is this problem happens with just update or happens with other commands?

[IR4N0nY]

update only

I think node/issue#7367 should be helpful to fix this issue.
