Descripción
Summary
The main dev-config.winget installs NVM for Windows (CoreyButler.NVMforWindows), which manages Node.js versions via a symlink at C:\nvm4w\nodejs and adds that to PATH. However, the TypeScript workload (Workloads/typescript/configuration.winget) separately installs OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS directly via winget, which places Node at C:\Program Files\nodejs.
This creates a broken state where:
- PATH points to
C:\nvm4w\nodejs(set by nvm4w) - The nvm4w symlink targets a version directory (e.g.
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\nvm\v24.16.0) that does not exist because Node was installed via the MSI package, not throughnvm install nodeandnpmare not found on PATH despite Node.js being physically installed
Steps to Reproduce
- Apply the main
windows-dev-config/dev-config.winget(installs nvm4w, addsC:\nvm4w\nodejsto PATH) - Apply
Workloads/typescript/configuration.winget(installsOpenJS.NodeJS.LTStoC:\Program Files\nodejs) - Open a new terminal
- Run
node --version→ command not found
Root Cause
nvm4w owns the PATH entry (C:\nvm4w\nodejs) and expects Node to be installed via nvm install <version> + nvm use <version>. The direct winget install of OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS puts node elsewhere and nvm4w's symlink points to a non-existent directory.
Suggested Fix
Option A — TypeScript workload defers to nvm4w:
Replace the OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS winget package resource with a RunCommandOnSet that runs:
nvm install lts
nvm use lts
Option B — Remove nvm4w from dev-config, let workloads install Node directly:
Remove CoreyButler.NVMforWindows from dev-config.winget and ensure C:\Program Files\nodejs ends up on PATH (the Node MSI installer does this by default).
Option C — Keep both but coordinate PATH:
If both are intentional, the TypeScript workload should add C:\Program Files\nodejs to PATH explicitly, or the refresh-path.ps1 should detect and resolve the nvm4w symlink conflict.
Environment
- Windows 11 (Build 2026)
- winget v1.28.240
- CoreyButler.NVMforWindows 1.2.2
- OpenJS.NodeJS.22 24.16.0 (installed by winget as the LTS package)

Línea de trabajo
Compara dev-config.winget con Workloads/typescript/configuration.winget y, a continuación, inspecciona refresh-path.ps1 si la gestión de PATH forma parte del enfoque elegido. Aplica ambas configuraciones en Windows y verifica que node --version y npm estén disponibles en un terminal nuevo sin instalaciones de Node en conflicto; la estrategia de coordinación seleccionada debe ser explícita y reproducible.
