Its really necessary building as administrator?

You shouldn't need to be an admin to build on Windows - I'd recommend trying yarn install instead of npm install (this is what we run on our CI machines). If you don't have yarn, you'll need to install it first via npm install -g yarn. There are some known issues with NPM around this, like npm/npm#19120

Solved with npm cache clean --force
@bryphe thanks, I will use with yarn.
