Creating meteor project throws error

The question which was said has the same solution has no solution, so it does not solve my problem.

I've installed Node, writing node -v in cmd returns v8.10.0.

Also installed meteor, meteor --version returns Meteor 1.6.1. After these steps I want to create an app like here.

So, I wrote:

meteor create simple-todos

and I get this error:

C:\Users\Rares\AppData\Local.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.6.1\mt-os.windows.x86_64\dev_bundle\lib\node_modules\meteor-promise\promise_server.js:218 throw error; ^

The function from promise_server.js invoked is

function tryCatchNextTick(object, method, args) {
  try {
    return method.apply(object, args);
  } catch (error) {
    process.nextTick(function () {
      throw error;
    });
  }
}

Any idea how to solve this?

The solution in my case was to run these steps:
