Cannot create kaplay or kaboom project in Windows 10

[markwen]

First, I am a big fan of kaplay or kaboom library. It's brilliant for beginners. However, I have big problem in creating kaplay or kaboom projects under windows 10. Please see below:

Software version:
Node.js v20.13.1
npm 10.8.0
Python 3.12.3

Error message under Windows 10 command line:

E:\projects>npx create-kaplay mygame
_Need to install the following packages:
create-kaplay@2.6.0
Ok to proceed? (y) y

• creating E:\projects\mygame/package.json
• creating E:\projects\mygame\www/index.html
• creating E:\projects\mygame\src/main.js
• creating E:\projects\mygame/README.md
• creating E:\projects\mygame/.gitignore
• creating E:\projects\mygame/README.md
• downloading default sprites
• installing packages "kaplay@latest"
  node:internal/child_process:421
  throw new ErrnoException(err, 'spawn');

}

Similar things happened when creating kaboom in Windows 10. I am not sure what is happening. Since most of PC users have Windows 10 as the primary OS, this is quite disappointing. Can this be resolved in a short time?

Thanks very much
