I’ve been trying to get node.js installed on my home PC for a while now with no luck. I’ve tried different versions for the past couple months and no matter what I try it starts rolling back the install at “Creating shortcuts” and it fails to install. I created an install log for anyone who wants to look at it and take a stab at helping me solve the problem. Thanks!
Windows Installer is reporting that it’s installed even though it’s been rolled back.
Run
msiexec /x {29552F29-7FE9-441F-BC56-E6B591587A59}Where the above guid is the

WixSchedInternetShortcutsto a false condition and install successfully. To do that, install Orca, then right click on the node.js msi file and choose ‘Edit with Orca’ then:InstallExecuteSequenceunder “Tables” on the left.WixSchedInternetShortcutsin the rightVersionNT > 400to0After installing this version, you should be able to cleanly remove it via Add/remove programs and install another version without modifying the msi file.
