Is there any kind of installation guide for Node Red on Windows 11 that actually works. Installing the Node.js package always stops and fails at the point where it's trying to run a setup.exe file I'm assuming for Visual Studio, once I get to the point of running it I can't install a bunch of nodes …

Here is what Brave Search's AI had to say on the matter of a portable version of Node.js: For those needing a portable Node.js setup, the recommended approach is to use NodeJS Portable by Crazy Max or the nvm-noinstall method, as these are more actively maintained and have better community support…
