npm install always installing in the same directory and not to current directory

Question

I am facing really a weird issue.

when i try to run the command 'npm install' it always installs in a different directory.

eg: i have the package.json in C:\Folder1\ and when i try to run 'npm install' it installs in C:\Folder2\

I tried running the command

'npm config list'

it always shows the 'cwd: C:\Folder2\' as the current working directory

How can i change the cwd path so it works wherever the package.json exists.

Same code work for other developers correctly. this behavior is only happending in one of the machine

Thanks
