That said, you are not alone...
... Reading this, it seems the problem can occur depending on which terminal you are using. They mention Windows Powershell being problematic and sure enough, when I tried that, it failed just like you said.
So I tried a suggested solution ...
npm install "@angular/http@2.4.2" --save --save-exact
... and this worked with Windows Powershell. So you have 2 options, try this or try a different terminal.
