I installed Node.js on Windows version v14.15.5 for a project without checking anything on the prompts during the installation. Then at some point Node.js automagically updates to latest version v16... Any way to disable this update regardless what is happening in the code of the project or elsewhere in the system. Just wish to always keep same version that was installed or specific version, in this case v14.15.5. Thank you
Except nvm there is another reason for the automatic update.
Disclaimer: In my case it was Chocolatey.
Chocolatey can be installed as last step of node installation.
You should be able to stop this with chocolatey pin command.
Something like this:
choco pin add -n="nodejs"
choco pin add -n="nodejs.install"

I need to set the node version to an older version for a new project I am working on. I am on Windows 11 Pro. This is a new computer that I setup yesterday and is pretty clean from a node perspective.
I have just removed nodejs and installed nvm (v 1.1.10).
After calling nvm install 16.19.0, I tried to call nvm use 16.19.0 and recieved the following error popup:
Here is the CLI history:
I was expecting this to set my current node version to 16.19.0.
I was trying to do this while running git-bash from Visual Studio Code so when I loaded up git-bash as Administrator I was able to get the nvm use call to work correctly.
Sorry for the stupid question, but I didn't see it answered on here anywhere else, so hopefully it will be useful to someone else.
I know this is an old problem, and I've gotten so far with other answers, so I'm using nvm for windows, I have my Node V11 and Node V12 versions installed, but when I do:
nvm use 11.15
The windows User Escalation popup comes up saying "Do you want to change the settings for CMD.exe?".
Ideally, I'd want to just switch the environment of my current process (from VSCode Terminal) or possibly use the nvm tool in a batch file to ensure that I can run different NodeJS solutions side-by-side on the same machine i.e. using different versions of node at the same time. Is this possible without requiring admin escalation?
Thanks
I'll be attending a MS course tomorrow and I'm supposed to install NodeJs version 0.12.7. However, when I follow the link provided, I only get a directory listing of a bunch of files. And I'm certainly not sure which one(s) I need (I'm on Win 8).
I also tried with their front page but the versions advertised there are v.4.2.2 and v.5.0.0, which surprised me (cf. v.0.12.7). When I went to the downloads' section, I got totally confused by the overwhelming number of options, platforms, versions etc.
I trust my godlike ability to pick just the wrong option as well as my superpower of confusing everything to the edge of ridiculousness, so instead of cursing my rectum off, I prefer to ask straight how to obtain the requested version (v.0.12.7 for Win 8).
I would suggest nvm, it's great for node version management and installing any particular version of node you would like. https://github.com/creationix/nvm
If you're running 32-bit Windows, then you want the node-v0.12.7-x86.msi file in the directory in your link.
If you're running 64-bit Windows, then you want the node-v0.12.7-x64.msi file in the x64 subdirectory.
As #Ryan McDermott suggested, nvm is good. Another option, which I like, is nodenv: https://github.com/OiNutter/nodenv.
First, install nodenv. Then, install the plugin node-build (https://github.com/OiNutter/node-build). Then you can do the following:
nodenv install --list # list available node versions
nodenv install 0.12.7 # install the specified version
nodenv global 0.12.7 # use the specified version of node
I am working on Install shield 2013 Pro (Licensed version).
I created one installer(Version 1.00.000) which will install driver for wireless network adapter .
Now i need to create an installer (Version 2.00.000) which must 'Uninstall Previous version ' installed in the PC.
I read sme forum which uses upgrade code for Uninstalling the version but could'nt get enough idea on this.
Can i get a well explained solution for this. Please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance
The upgrade is done with the help of the upgradecode. This code must be the same for all product versions. This way Windows Installer can see two products are from the same family. The support from Windows Installer for controlling updates it also allows you to install allows you to decide the order of the upgrades, i.e. you can choose to first remove the old version and then install the new one, or to first install the new one and them remove the old version.
When doing upgrade you should also be careful on the package language and install type (per-user or per-machine). Windows Installer does not remove an older version if the install language or type is different from the one of the new version that is being installed.
This might be more of a CYGWIN question than a Nodejs but here goes.
I installed Cygwin yesterday and on the packages selection I just clicked next as it looked like most were pre-selected, and then today read this guide http://boxysystems.com/index.php/step-by-step-instructions-to-install-nodejs-on-windows/ on installing nodejs.
The ./configure had an error that it was unable to remap python lib-dynload/itertools.dll to same address as parent. As the process still completed I tried the make command, but it fails on the same error.
So, I opened cygwin setup.exe and this time I clicked the source checkbox for all the Python packages. But still get the same error. Should I now go to Cygwin and check all the source packages for the Make packages, delete it and reinstall from scratch using the above guide. Or something else?
Any help gratefull received/
Use the official 0.5.x windows build from http://nodejs.org/#download - you just have to download a .exe file and you can start it.
Versions 0.5.X have problems with Cygwin and because of developing clean Windows version Cygwin environment is now unsupported. Stable version 0.4.12 builds on Cygwin with no problems. If you want to use node.js unstable 0.5.X branch on Windows use windows build at official node.js site.
check this out:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)
Update Sept 1, 2011 -- as of today, v0.5.5 does not build on Cygwin (errors on make). Use v.0.5.4 (ie. follow instructions below and use "git checkout v0.5.4".
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/API-changes-between-v0.4-and-v0.6
Cygwin build is no longer supported. Use native windows builds instead.
