error message: 'TypeError: rimraf.sync is not a function' in version 9.0.7

Platform: windows 7
npx: v9.0.7
npm: v5.2.0
node: v6.9.5
shell: CMD.EXE

I have installed the npx globally, then want to try some features, but got the error: 'TypeError: rimraf.sync is not a function'.

The last issue from Windows trilogy (#60, #58 and #61) 🔱

This is fairly easy to solve: rimraf package is being promisified and the returned function does not have the other properties like sync that were on the original function. Using non-promisified rimraf for this solves the problem.

  : path.join(prefix, 'bin')
- const rimraf = promisify(require('rimraf'))
+ const rimraf = require('rimraf')
  process.on('exit', () => rimraf.sync(prefix))
- return rimraf(bins).then(() => {
+ return promisify(rimraf)(bins).then(() => {
    return installPackages(specs, prefix, opts)
