Cypress stuck on unzipping 0%

[danieljmann96]

I get this output when I run npm install cypress --save-dev This is in an administrator session in Windows CMD. I am running windows 10.

It gets stuck on 0% and will not budge (I even left it overnight...) If it's important, my package.json dependencies are below:

If anyone could suggest the cause, or any particular logs I could look at, that'd be great (couldn't find much in Event Viewer)

Im having the exact same issue cant do an npm i on my project because postinstall on cypress freezes

Edit

Downgrade to 7.5.0 worked

I have a feeling the download is consistently malformed? I've attempted to clean up with cypress cache clear Deleting all cypress dirs in AppData

Still getting these results:

My solution: Download manually from here https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#Direct-download

Unzip to this path
