Put debug lines prior to 38 and 60 to output this.file.documentsDirectory so you can see what's there. Then go back line by line to see what your code did to fill in the variable.

It sounds like you need to get back to Ionic support. Also the install command you shared doesn't match what I read at
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic-native/core

After i perform npm install --save @ionic-native/media on C:\Windows\System32\ionic-sound i am getting an error that i have dependencies manually i do but the same error prompts. I look on package.json and angular.core is installed, also ionic/native@core is installed and rxjs too. I installed npm from the beggining that didn't solved it too

npm WARN @ionic-native/media@4.5.2 requires a peer of ionic-native/core4.2.0 but none is installed
npm WARN @ionic-native/media@4.5.2 requires a peer of @angular/core but none is installed
npm WARN @ionic-native/media@4.5.2 requires a peer of rxjs@5.0.1 but none is installed

Thanks @rproffitt but i did that like a hundred times. i have updated node.js also but i am getting an error to install rxjs.5.0.1 , i have 5.5.0 installed. Tried to install 5.1.0 but couldn't

Now you make me worry that Ionic has blown their installer up. Get to the authors there and ask what's going on.

I never thought there was a problem with the framework.
