Please run the following commands and report what is returned:

• npm -v
• node -v

Also, if you try and run the command on its own, does it work?
npm install -g --prefix %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\BotFrameworkComposer.yo-repository --loglevel error --no-optional @microsoft/generator-bot-empty@*

I am also having this issue. When I run the original script (https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager) in PowerShell (as an admin!), it returns:

v22.12.0
10.9.0

I then ran the npm command you referenced above, and it installed packages. Also notified me that npm v11.0 is available, so I ran that.

But once I close the shell and run the Bot Framework Composer, it continues to give the same error. If I then re-open PowerShell, the npm -v command returns an error that no such file is found.

Hi all.

• What version (if any) of Yeoman do you have installed? (yo -v)
• Please try the nightly build of Composer
  https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer-Nightlies/releases/tag/v2.1.3-nightly.364675.1a93f21

 
@ArturMarins777
Are you able to run the command outside of Composer? (With the correct path)

@paulks-software

Your error does not appear to be the exact same as the original, but similar. Yours appears to possibly be a related to permissions or pathing. Can you try and run the command but with a path that you can ensure has full permissions (for example create a folder in the root of the drive and permissions for all users and then run npm install -g --prefix <CREATEDFOLDERPATH> --loglevel error --no-optional @microsoft/generator-bot-empty@*)

@MatsEReed

Did you replace %userprofile% with $env:userprofile? If you're using Powershell, the former won't work.
