Thanks, and sorry for the runaround. Now I have something we can start
debugging.
Run these commands please and post their output:
node -v
cordova -v
npm list -g --depth=0
Did you install NodeJS directly or via nvm-windows or a similar tool?
Could you also run the `cordova create ...` command in another, new and empty
folder. Same error message?
What language is you Windows?
May first advice would be: Uninstall and reinstall Cordova via `npm uninstall
cordova` and then `npm install -g cordova`. Maybe there is just something wrong
with your installation.
If that doesn't help, try reinstalling nodejs via nvm-windows. That is only
indirectly connected, but in my experience it fixes similar problems in 90% of
the cases.

Hi, so from the last item to the first:
The "reinstall cycles" are allready behind me :-/ This is one of first
things Im trying, however when I finish the other commands, I shall retry,
however due to the nature of our (main) project I have to downgrade npm in
version in order to be able to compile.
As installing, im not sure what means "install directly", I expect the msi
package from https://nodejs.org/en/ ... will retry through nvm.
As for the commands outputs:
{{D:\XXXXXXX\nodejs>node -v
v8.8.1
D:\XXXXXXX\nodejs>cordova -v
7.1.0
D:\XXXXXXX\nodejs>npm list -g --depth=0
D:\XXXXXXX\nodejs

ad cordova create on empty directory: the same, see

ad Windows language, it is CZE (CS) Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1
Going to remove and install nodejs again using nvm and perform the test, please
stand-by.

Uhmmmm, so using nvm is a VERY BAD solution, since it is unable to establish
any prerequisites and fails even in its own simple commands, moreover it wrecks
the nodejs install completly, see attached commandline record nvm_install.png
Going for reinstall of nodejs and npm/quasar-cli/cordova manually from the MSI
(mean nodejs from the MSI and the others using the npm).
(Just for the sake of completness: of course I did an uninstall of nodejs and
all its traces from the system before trying the nvm path .
Addendum: doing 'npm -v' prints 5.5.1., so there is no other binary/version
left over.

What do these words mean?

Node 9.2.0 is 1 day old. (You probably get the same result installing it
directly from nodejs.org.) Node doesn't care if npm is ready or not it seems...
Installing the recommended 8.9.1 LTS via nvm-windows (which has the same npm)
works fine for me: nvm install 8.9.1, nvm use 8.9.1, npm install cordova -g
PS: Did you report the mentioned VB Script error to nvm-windows? This shouldn't
really happen.
