Cannot find npm 4.0.5 on Windows

Please, see the description here, as I'm not sure if it's spawn-wrap or npm fault
npm/npm#15231

Confirmed that this issue appeared in 1.2.4

edit with more info:
The issue appears to be occurring when the user has npm installed as a node_module. This causes which to include ./node_modules/.bin because npm put its own executable in .bin.

We ran in to this same thing today as well.

nyc uses spawn-wrap and after adding david to our project nyc began reporting issues finding npm-cli.js.

Turns out david installs its own version of npm which spawn-wrap then tries to use.

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this. I have the same issue and can't run nyc on my windows box.
