Description
$ corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate
Preparing yarn@stable for immediate activation...
Internal Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\jop\.node\corepack\yarn\3.2.3'
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\jop\.node\corepack\yarn\3.2.3'
After seeing this error, I tried to assist it by making the directory but yarn.js is not found
$ New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force C:\Users\jop\.node\corepack\yarn\3.2.3
$ corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate
Preparing yarn@stable for immediate activation...
$ yarn

Research direction
Reproduce the reported corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate failure on Windows, then compare it with the working pnpm@latest flow shown in the issue. Trace the Yarn preparation and activation path from the installed Corepack entry point; done means Yarn is installed with yarn.js present and the yarn command starts successfully.
