Check version of NodeJS using node -v command. If you are using the stable version of node, then the installation should work.
If node js is a stable version and all the ways of trying fail, then uninstall and re-install node js. And then install ionic. I had faced the same issue and had manage to resolve it this way.

Windows is not the best platform for NodeJS.
Don’t install a recent version of Node, prefer 0.12.x until 4.x or 5.x get better (despite their version numbers 4.x and 5.x and very recent)
Don’t install it in a folder that require admin rights like c:\programs and is not too deeply nested, something like c:\node
