Steps to reproduce the problem:

> npm update -g

I have installed nvm via scoop, so I've tried to lanuch manually the same command from the real directory without any symlink.
Same result.

> cd C:\dev-env\scoop\apps\nvm\1.1.7\nodejs\nodejs
>  ./npm update -g

npm ERR! code EEXIST
npm ERR! path C:\dev-env\scoop\apps\nvm\1.1.7\nodejs\nodejs\npm.cmd

Maybe related with #300 ?

Yes, this is related to the npm hard-coding issue cited above. The scoop installer is maintained outside of this project. I don't know if there is anything that can be done though, so I'm closing this.
