NodeJS for windows 7

Had same problem and ended solving it, I just installed node 14.15.0

  • Go here
  • Download the Windows Binary (.zip) either 32/64 bit
  • Extract it in the directory where your node it's installed and say yes to replace all files (remember that the zip comes with npm that is in node_modules/npm directory I didn't copy from the zip because I already updated npm before replacing the files)
  • Create an Environment variable called: NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK and set it to 1
  • Ready to use node in Windows 7 for now

Latest node.js version that (officially) supports Windows 7 is 13.6.0. https://nodejs.org/download/release/v13.6.0/


I just install in Windows 7 x64 this version
