I think this is a problem on your machine. Try creating a folder in another directory. Go into that and try npm install sinon there.

Does that work?

Finally got to test this out on some windows box. Works fine using both stable and development releases of Node on a normal Windows 10 install (using a Cygwin shell, but npm is running in a CMD shell, alias npm=cmd /c npm`, so it is of no importance). Still holds the view that this is an issue on your machine. Probably some file being held by a zombie process or something. Never got a response, so hard to tell.

Working using NPM 3.10.3 and Node x64 v6.3.1
