I am trying to install phantomjs on a windows 7 machine and am getting this error .

There are many issues logged in this repo for the same or this SO question but none of it is helping in my case.

This is what is the state of my machine

I have phantomjs installed locally at C:\npm\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\bin\phantomjs.exe but when I run the npm install,it will always try to install by downloading which is where the problem for me.My corporate proxy is blocking the direct downloads .I also cannot use the --phantomjs_cdnurl switch mentioned here https://www.npmjs.com/package/phantomjs#deciding-where-to-get-phantomjs
I can run the command and it works fine phantomjs -v 2.1.1

But when I run npm install on my project it is trying to install the phantomjs and will run into the above error.Another thing I observed from the npm log

Considering PhantomJS found at C:\Program Files (x86)\nodist\bin\phantomjs.CMD Found PhantomJS at C:\Program Files (x86)\nodist\bin\phantomjs.CMD ...verifying Error verifying phantomjs, continuing { [Error: Command failed: C:\Program Files (x86)\nodist\bin\phantomjs.CMD --version

it is trying to run the phantomjs.CMD --version which also failing

Following are the versions i have ` D:\PROJECTS\sbc-web\app>node -v
v5.5.0

D:\PROJECTS\sbc-web\app>npm -v
3.10.9

D:\PROJECTS\sbc-web\app>phantomjs -v
2.1.1
` I also tried to install pahntomjs by directly downloading the repo and installing,That also is getting the error

npm ERR! phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.13 install: node install.js

Try an advice of @galtenhofen (see issue #644) npm set strict-ssl false

I'm seeing this issue under Jenkins 2 Pipeline project (Jenkins is running under Windows 2008R2 64bits as a service). PhantomJS is failing only when executing with --version when checking correctness of installation. In the same Pipeline phantomjs executes ember-cli tests without any problem. I'm guessing there is an issue with availability of the console to print a version when running under Windows service.

Medium / phantomjs
