Answer 1

I wasn't able to install it the regular way, but I ended up successfully installing it using Chocolatey (a Machine Package Manager built with Windows in mind) and then the nodejs package.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem and it turned out that a file had gone corrupted in the Nodejs directory, by going to the folder "Program files" and giving the folder "nodejs" a new name, I was able to reinstall it properly.

I might add that I couldn´t delete the folder Nodejs because there was a corrupted file in the folder.

Answer 3

Most of the times this issue is coming because of the antivirus program which we've installed. First scan the setup file using the antivirus program to make sure it's a virus free file and then stop the antivirus program for few minutes and try to install nodeJS.

Answer 4

I also faced it turns out its a problem of windows event log service. First check if Windows Event Log service is on or not. If not started then to fix it, rename or delete the C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup folder in safemode.

Hope it helps

Answer 5

Running command prompt with administrative rights and then running msi worked for me.

Answer 6

I also faced this issue multiple(2) times. Finally I disabled AVAST ANTIVIRUS program & tried to install Node.js again.

It worked.
