Not related but I noticed you are installing modules into your C:\Windows\system32 folder. So can you try some other place, to rule out access problems. — user568109

Make sure you have all the prerequisite software required. See github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp — user568109

The failure is on the required-component "ws" which has an open issue for this error: github.com/einaros/ws/issues/240 — Michael Paulukonis

As seen in this answer run your shell as administrator, and this problem should go away.
