Installing Node.js on Windows 10 always results in an error

Question

Hey I changed my System from Linux to Windows and I would like to install Node.js via .exe. The problem I have is, that I get an Error Pop-up. How could I fix it?

What I tried:

I checked already the permissions and I got also the confirm-box for the admin and everything seems to be normal.
Install Windows 10 ISO via bootable stick and Rufus in MBR and GPT and also by creating an usb via MediaCreationTool.

Thanking you in anticipation

I saw a question yesterday on SO with the same error message... you should look at yesterday's post and try to find it. — code

Yeah, I got in this issue too. There is already an approved bug on the maintainers GitHub: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39224. So assume that a fix will be available in the next days.

Short term solution: Install the version before the latest (e.g. 14.17.1): https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39224#issuecomment-872702653. This worked for me
