Cannot update or uninstall node.js on Windows 10 - node.js

I currently have node.js v0.10.24-x64 installed on my machine and am attempting to update to v12.19.0-x64. When I run the v12.19.0-x64.msi installer, I see this error message: https://i.stack.imgur.com/J1mAK.png
Clicking 'cancel' then gives this message, indicating that the installer is trying to remove a prior installation of node: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Vcme.png
I've tried uninstalling my current node.js installation and then installing the newer version from scratch, but this process gives me the same result. How can I completely remove node.js from my system so that I can install the new version without errors?

Try installing or uninstalling node js without connecting you pc to internet.

I can't install node.js or uninstall my previous installation on Windows 10

I recently had an issue with node.js where I couldn't use any npm commands because of a missing "lib"
Because of that I tried uninstalling it but I couldn't because of "Error 2330"
Now when I'm trying to install it again I get:
Node.js isn't even on my installed programs so I can't try uninstalling it again, yet there's a node.js file on my "Program Files" which I can't even delete (pressing delete does literally nothing, no popups, nothing)
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but can't even get that to work

Installing Node JS on Windows 7 stuck on a command prompt

I'm trying to install Node JS v8.12.0 on Windows 7, using the following installer downloaded from the Node website: https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.12.0/node-v8.12.0-win-x86.zip
When I run the installer, it just hangs on the first window it opens - please see screen below.
It may have something to do with the fact that I uninstalled a previous version of Node by following this solution: How to completely remove node.js from Windows
I also had NVM for Windows installed previously, which I also uninstalled.
So I am trying to install Node again from scratch, but this time it just hangs forever.
I'm running it with Elevated Privileges on a work machine, which has always worked when installed Node in the past, including this version (8.12.0).
I guess you are using the binary version of Node for Windows.
Try to download and use this installer:
https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/node-v8.15.0-x86.msi

MongoDB installation error on window 7

mongodb taking forever to install. Can someone please help..i have window 7, 64bit and nodejs already installed.I have installed uninstalled and tried installing again but the installation cant go completion..
The MongoDB installer mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.6.2-signed.msi has a checkbox that's auto selected to download and install Compass. Uncheck this and the installation should complete. You can then download and install Compass separately.

Upgrade / Uninstall NodeJS on Windows

Somehow node version v0.12.2 got installed on my Windows machine and I'd like to upgrade to a newer version, however, it is not in the "Add or Remove Programs" menu.
When I try to install node from the Windows MSI, I get the standard windows 1603 error (below), which I am assuming means windows thinks that this application is already installed.
MSI (s) (64:84): Windows Installer installed the
product. Product Name: Node.js. Product Version: 6.11.0. Product
Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Node.js Foundation. Installation success
or error status: 1603.
Any ideas? I've tried lots of things like this and this with no luck.
I am trying to install an npm package that depends on a higher version of node and striking out.
Man, I had this same issue a long time ago and it was really a pain to discover what I should do. Just download the .msi related to the version installed on your machine from here:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/
Execute the downloaded .msi, and from there, choose to uninstall.
I installed Node Version Manager for Windows and it recognized this installation of Node. I was able to install alternate versions of node from here. It also recognized my current installation of node and was able to facilitate an "uninstallation" without going through the windows "add/remove programs" feature.

Node.js error : failed to initialize context

I just installed Node.js from Visual Studio installation.
When I tried to call node on the command prompt, I got this error. I also got this when I tried to do npm init and npm install
How do I fix this?
I encountered this problem on my Windows 10 64-bit computer. From looking at Programs and Features, I saw that I had Node.js and Node.js Chakra installed. I uninstalled Node.js and then downloaded and installed again it from https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
This, however, did not fix the problem. So I uninstalled Node.js Chakra; and when I opened a new command prompt, node and npm were working.
However, I'm not sure if I needed to uninstall and reinstall Node.js or if I only needed to uninstall Chakra. I probably should have uninstalled Chakra first and node and npm might have worked after that.
