In my situation, this helped:

Before proceeding to execute these commands **close** all VS Code instances.

-
Clean the cache with:

```
npm cache clean --force

```

-
Install the latest version of npm globally as admin:

```
npm install -g npm@latest --force

```

-
Clean cache with:

```
npm cache clean --force

```

-
Try to install your component once again.

I hope this fixes your issue. If not, you may temporarily disable your antivirus program and try again.
