Error installing NodeJS 14.19.2 with npm version 6.14.17 #799
Description
Issue:
I do not know if this is an issue with nvm for Windows or NodeJS:
I cannot get NodeJS 14.19.2 (more specifically: npm v6.14.17) to install with nvm v1.1.9:
How To Reproduce:
C:\Users\user>nvm install 14.19.2
Downloading node.js version 14.19.2 (64-bit)...
Complete
Downloading npm version 6.14.17... Download failed. Rolling Back.
Rollback failed. remove C:\development\tools\nvm\temp\npm-v6.14.17.zip: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Could not download npm for node v14.19.2.
Please visit https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v6.14.17 to download npm.
It should be extracted to C:\development\tools\nvm\v14.19.2
C:\Users\user>nvm version
1.1.9
NodeJs is downloaded to c:\development\tools\nvm\v14.19.2\node64.exe.
A file c:\development\tools\nvm\temp\npm-v6.14.17.zip is also created but it is not a ZIP archive - it is a text file with this content:
the given path has multiple possibilities: #<Git::Ref:0x00007fe7bd76da98>, #<Git::Ref:0x00007fe7bd6df518>
(If it matters: I am using this git version locally:
C:\Users\user>git version --build
git version 2.36.0.windows.1
cpu: x86_64
built from commit: ea1e13f73339d57cbe81a0bae6fba669aaccf656
sizeof-long: 4
sizeof-size_t: 8
shell-path: /bin/sh
feature: fsmonitor--daemon
)
Expected Behavior:
NodeJS 14.19.2 - and it's bundled npm - should install without an error.
