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 …

For the record, on my very clean Windows 11 24H2 VM, the winget command didn't encounter any issues, it finishes the installation process. The -e option will make winget ask for elevated rights, so you don't have to run PowerShell with admin rights.

On my Windows 7, 10 & 11 laptops my first installed program is always Portable Apps ( portableapps.com ). With that I can run Firefox and other browsers, Photofiltre, Thunderbird, Filezilla, Putty, Arduino ide and hundreds of other apps without them or their libraries being installed or polluting the…

[image] Technogeek: One should be able to find on our WWW an article that tells one how to install these things combined on one web page and when it changes create a new web page that explains the new instructions and what versions it applies to. Who do you think should pay (or put in the hou…

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…

[image] TotallyInformation: This is really the big difference with Windows. Windows versions since NT are ENTERPRISE architectures first and foremost. They tend to be complex in ways that Linux is not and simpler in ways that Linux is not. They are simply very different beasts. Here's the thi…
