Does this happen with any other packages? I do not have Windows so its hard for me to test.

If anyone else with Windows could test this out, that would help.

no,it does not happens with any other packages.

Looks like this is related to graceful-fs library? I'm not sure there is much that can be done here.

I have tested this on Windows 10 with Node.js 9.1.0, and cannot reproduce this issue with npm 5.5.1 and Yarn 1.3.2. (I used npm install --save purecss / yarn add purecss to test this.)

@Calinou thanks for testing. can you try on node 6 and 8 as well?

I just tested it on Node.js 6.12.0 and 8.9.1, and it works.

I just tried this and got the same failure. Updating Node.js didn't help.

I narrowed it down in your devDependencies to "grunt-contrib-compress": "^1.4.0". Looking at their issues it appears to be the same as described in gruntjs/grunt-contrib-compress#190 . This fixed shortly after 1.4.0, and indeed updating that dependency to 1.4.3 resolves the issue for me.
