Error installing nodejs on windows 7

I am trying to install the current LTS version of NodeJs (currently at v6.10.3) on windows 7 company laptop. It fails and shows unable to copy a file "server.key" and just rolls back. I did some analysis and found that this file is part of test\fixtures folder in node-gyp module.

I am unable to have/copy/rename/delete/create a file called "server.key" due to company security policy. I tested and found ".key" file is disallowed on my company laptop.

My question is is there any way to get node-gyp module without the test\fixtures folder or to exclude the certificates that it is copying.

I cannot change company policy and i am exploring nodejs in my free time. Any way to achieve this apart from going the VM option ?
