Error installing 'latest' node version

[oracleoftroy]

Issue:

I can't install the latest version of node, either via latest or via an explicit version number. On the surface it looks like #942 and might be the same or closely related, but the error message I'm getting is slightly different than what I see in that thread.

How To Reproduce:

Using a fresh install using nvm-setup.exe from releases (first time trying this program, so no previous installs). Node was previously manually installed, but I uninstalled it before installing nvm.

> nvm version
1.1.10


> nvm install latest

> nvm install 19.8.1
Downloading node.js version 19.8.1 (64-bit)...
Extracting node and npm...
Complete
npm v9.5.1 installed successfully.


Installation complete. If you want to use this version, type

nvm use 19.8.1

Expected Behavior:

nvm install latest or nvm install 19.9.0 would install the current latest version reported by the app (19.9.0).

As shown above, the previous version (19.8.1) worked fine, as did nvm install lts. It seems to be an issue specific to the latest nodejs version. The version nvm reports matches what Nodejs's website claims is the latest. I did not try installing any other versions aside from latest, lts and the two explicit version numbers above.

I hereby confirm the Error.

Same Version(s) of NVM and Node. Same Error Message with the same Steps as reported in the OT. Differences:

1.) Manual Installation of NVM
2.) I upgraded countless of times without any Error before from Version 18.x all throughout 19.8.1

[moekhalil]

Same.

Commented here #942 (comment)

[moekhalil]

#956 --> I just submitted a pull request that fixes this issue 👍🏼

[nicolas377]

This also applies without the latest flag. On my local machine, after reinstalling, it's impossible to install the current latest, 19.9.0, by any ways possible. This only applies to 19.9.0, however, it's still a very pressing issue because this will not be fixed by another node update.

[coreybutler]

Fixed in master, will be released in v1.1.11

[coreybutler]

Version 1.1.11 has been released.

[oracleoftroy]

Updated to 1.1.11 and no more issue. I give this the official 'works on my machine' stamp of approval! Thanks for your quick work.

Just want to leave this here from someone. I had the same issue and it turned out to be OneDrive messing with the path somehow. I do not need OneDrive so I unlinked my device and quit the app.

I'm getting version 1.1.9 when installing via chocolately in win11 powershell7 and hit into this issue obviously. Just a heads up.

thanks for the effort on this project - its greatly appreciated :)
