Cannot install nx globally/locally about nx HOT 5 OPEN

Having this issue on Windows 10 as well.

The file does exist in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\nx-native-file-cache-41edfcf\19.1.0-nx.win32-x64-msvc.node but it seems like nx adds \\?\ in front of the path it's trying to load just like in the error above:
npm ERR! \\?\C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\nx-native-file-cache-41edfcf\19.1.0-nx.win32-x64-msvc.node

Setting NX_NATIVE_FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY = "/tmp/mycache" in my env variable will result in the same issue:
npm ERR! \\?\C:\tmp\mycache\AppData\Local\Temp\nx-native-file-cache-41edfcf\19.1.0-nx.win32-x64-msvc.node

I tried to downgrade the version of nx to 18.3.4 as well but the same issue occurs so I'm assuming it's not new.

Hey! For now it should be possible to set the NX_NATIVE_FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY variable to something else.
Can you check whether it works for you if you specify an absolute path there?
I don't think the \\? is the issue, it looks like that's just how windows specifies potentially very long paths.

The module loading error is a bit of a misdirect I think as it shadows the true, underlying error. In this case this is ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED which I've never heard of before. @Wurielle do you get the same stack trace with ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED? Does the error code change if you specify NX_NATIVE_FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY? Since it's in 18.3.4, it sounds like it might be a different issue.

@JohnMichaelangelo20 can you make sure that when you try to npm i nx -g, there are no other processes that might somehow use nx (vscode, intellij, daemon,...) running at the same time? It would give me more information. Thank you :)

I did run the command without anything being opened. I also just reformat my whole device and the very first I did was to install node and install nx and the error occurs from the beggining even if it's a fresh device.

is there anything else that might be special about your machine? multiple users, permissions? Have you tried setting the 'NX_NATIVE_FILE_CACHE_DIRECTORY' environment variable to another place that you surely have access to?
I've tried reproducing and on my windows machine it installs just fine... So I need some more information. Can you trace it to an exact version where it worked before? Maybe you can record a video of it happening?

Hi @MaxKless 👋🏼 No, there is nothing special on my machine.

But npm i nx -g was working when it was on windows 11 and had to downgrade it to windows 10 but since then I got this error (here is what I download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10)

This is what I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnBO1aTgrVs

and I tried to install & uninstall node js got this pop up with different .msi each time I'm installing node that needed to be yes

Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?

8e80.msi` / 968e.msi / 9e9c.msi / 27e0f.msi

Multiple Users

User Permission

What is installed in my device (nvm is only here because I tried to install nx and have removed node js but same error; I tried install nx via node downloaded from nvm and node is uninstall and vice versa, same error 😟 )

Windows C: Security settings

Do I need something to be enabled/checked here?
