Running vscode under Admin will make updates disabled, and in some cases admin prevs do not save from the problem discussed.

And also I have two repo using different npm registry, but using the same store. I think it is possible to find a reproduce way.

@zkochan I fixed this by deleting the whole pnpm global cache directory. I guess there are some files with incorrect permissions in the global cache directory.

Just a guess. Since permissions are shared between original file and its hard links, what if packages' install scripts (or pnpm did, or other tools) changed its file's permission in behave of current user in certain repo, and this will leads to an error when another user is trying to install packages in another repo with same dependency.

Even with an administrator commandline on windows I get the same error. I got the same error on several projects , and I couldn't resolve it , so sadly I had to get back to the old npm. Windows 10 Nodejs v18.15.0 Nextjs

So I think that is the only place where the exception may happen. But I would expect a EACCES: permission denied, open error, not a chmod error. I don't see any code that runs chmod on those files.

I had an issue where mkdirp@1.0.4/node_modules/mkdirp/bin/cmd.js ended up with root:wheel ownership. That caused me to get ERROR  EPERM: operation not permitted, chmod '/path/to/my/project/node_modules/mkdirp/bin/cmd.js' when attempting to pnpm install. Running rm -rf node_modules in my project and reinstalling the package didn't fix it nor did trying to pnpm install mkdirp in a new/empty test project, but rm -rf node_modules && rm -rf $HOME/.pnpm-store and then reinstalling did fix it. So my guess is some files in that package had gotten corrupted in the store somehow.

For me in windows, I had to remove the pnpm folder on the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local path and the installing it again using npm i -g pnpm

After i deleted the /Users/${user}/.pnpm-store directory, re-run pnpm i in my project and it worked. May be this command really needs. #2343

In window (10/11) this happened to me all the time (on versions pnpm version and the latest) when installing from terminal with user priveleges:

Maybe if you download the repo, compile it and run install via node /packages/pnpm/lib/pnpm.js install, you'll get a stack trace to the place where it happens.

I received this error message today. In my case I reinstalled windows os and it shows this error when running pnpm install on the drive where the pnpm store was created in the previous OS (it works fine in adminstrator mode without any errors). After removing .pnpm-store it was fixed.

Had same issue, but worked after deleted all content-addressable store. Btw I don't know if its relevant that I am using M1 mac.

I can't find any code that runs chmod on those files. The exec files get the executable permission when they get unpacked to the global content-addressable store. After that, they are not modified, just hard links are created that point to them.

Downgrading to pnpm 7 fixed it for me npm i -g pnpm@7. Looks like pnpm 8 is so fast that Windows unlocks files after using them slower than pnpm tries to use them again.
