I Also Tried Doing THis, turned out that updating node to v7.0.0 was the cause.

From my understanding,

Node 7 has some issues with bindings. It wasnt able to locate bindings in my system.

Uninstalling it & installing node 6.* helped.

Follow these steps:

uninstall node v7.

delete npm & npm cache directories in AppData/Roaming/.

install node version 6.9.

run npm cache clean

& then install angular-cli globally.

If You want , you can track the issue at:

Hope this helps
