There had been installation issues of angular-cli on Windows 10 system. Most of the time these errors are related to Python dependecies and node-gyp.
Something as below :
execSync@1.0.2 install C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\angu
lar-cli\node_modules\angular2-template-loader\node_modules\codecov\node_modules\
execSync
node install.js
[execsync v1.0.2] Attempting to compile native extensions.
{ [Error: spawn node-gyp ENOENT]
code: 'ENOENT',
errno: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn node-gyp',
path: 'node-gyp',
spawnargs: [ 'rebuild' ] }
[execSync v1.0.2]
Native code compile failed!!
Will try to use win32 extension.

.......................To resolve this issue, make sure you're upgraded to latest version of NPM and try installing angular-cli. This seems to have worked on certain scenarios.
If the above doesn't works then the below steps should help. Please ensure all the commands are executed as an Administrator.
1) Install node-gyp from here
npm install -g node-gyp2) Install Windows build tool from here
npm install --global windows-build-tools*This will also install python
npm install -g angular-cli
This should install angular-cli without errors.
Post this installation, follow the installation guide to install AngularFire and everything should work as expected.
When you start your app using "ng serve" in the console, you might still see the below errors. Despite these errors, the application should work as expected and should be able to talk to Firebase.
