Thanks for reporting. Are you using a special shell of some sort? I am not familiar with cmdlets. I am using normal best practices for declaring node binaries: https://github.com/tjunnone/npm-check-updates/blob/master/package.json#L36-L39

You could also try ncu.cmd

I fixed this by add C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\npm to my system's user environment variables.

@raineorshine I believe this is a non-issue in the sense that normally when Node.js is installed automatically adds C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\npm in PATH. If it's not there, then something is wrong with the user's installation, not ncu.
