i have same issue, i think its bugs, when trying to copying npm file.
try to use another version like v1.1.12

ref : #1229

[torselden]

Same issue here och version 1.2.2
I found on file though in
AppData\Local\Temp\nvm-install-1573846107\temp\npm-v6.14.13.zip

I have the same error with another nodejs version

[torselden]

This should be fixed by mergin #1220.
Also this is possibly a duplicate of #1209

Thank you very much for your prompt response.
For the moment I solved it with a downgrade to 1.1.12 and it works perfectly

This issue occurs in all versions older than v16.10.0

@coreybutler NVM for Windows v1.2 is unusable for any node versions below v16.10. There is already a pull request to fix this (#1220), please could you publish a release with this fix?

[coreybutler]

I know I've been slow to release v1.2.3 with the fix, and I apologize for that. I don't need the PR (I'd already fixed it), but I've been busy trying to get an Azure spot instance with Windows 11 ARM64 setup as a GitHub runner. Turns out that is the only way we can continue supporting ARM builds (which are also new in 1.2.x) since Qemu emulation isn't doing the trick. In other words, this issue is kind of blocked by the automated build process.

[techiegm]

Happy to know it's on the radar and fingers crossed you're able to get the Github runner woes sorted

[odrumond]

Hi! Sorry for pushing you but you have any news on that @coreybutler?

in origin:master@HEAD, the path passed to the unzip function is still incorrect.
Corey, is your fix for this unmerged or not pushed yet?
