Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
- [x] I have custom nodes enabled

### What happened?

Some custom nodes like ComfyUI-HQ-Image-Save, OpenImageIO for Comfy and comfy-oiio in ComfyUI Desktop can't be installed. After pressing "install" and restarting backend, the "install" buttons doesn't turn into "uninstall". And there is no new nodes in the All installed tab. And nothing is created in the C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\ComfyUI\custom_nodes folder. Even manually cloning the custom nodes into the folder doesn't work. There are a lot of cutom modes that behave like this. Here are just 3 examples. Logs when installing in the Nodes Manager are as follows:

ComfyUI-HQ-Image-Save:
