Is it supposed to open multiple windows?

Is nvm supposed to run in separate window when a command is typed?

There shouldn't be a second window... let me know more about your environment. At the moment, I have no idea how to recreate the issue.

[vkbansal]

I'm using Windows 8.1 update 1 build 9600.winblue_gdr.140723-2018

I am a little suspicious that this might be related to issue #3. The node executable is actually run once to determine which version is currently installed, and if there is an existing installation of node in your PATH, it could be causing this weird situation.

I'm going to put together a couple of changes for a patch release to either bypass this or at least warn about what's going on. I'll let you know when that's done.

[vkbansal]

That would be great 👍

I still can't recreate this issue, but the new installer prevents conflict with a previously installed node.js. Let me know if that resolves this issue (no rush).

This issue has re-appeared in v1.0.5

[coreybutler]

Is there anything special about your system? I cannot recreate this, and I haven't had any other mention of this issue.

[vkbansal]

Nothing special :).
I too am amazed. I tested it on 2 machines.

1. A Dell Windows Laptop at work.
2. A Custom Built PC at home.

It just shows up on the laptop but works fine on PC

Are you on an Active Directory network at work? It seems unlikely, but it is possible to configure some elements of the command prompt from an Active Directory group policy. It could be forcing subroutines/clients to open in a new window.... but I have never actually seen that implemented in any group policies. When you install a new version of node, nvm opens an HTTP client that fetches the file from nodejs.org. Group policies that affect Internet Explorer can intercept this traffic and spawn a new process.... but again, I don't think I've ever seen that in practice.

[vkbansal]

May be. I'll examine it and let you know

[vkbansal]

Just checked. I think I'm not connected to any ADN at work.
Can it be due to TortiseSVN or WinSCP?

[coreybutler]

I don't know - I haven't used either of those in several years. If they set any kind of defaults for the terminal or wrap the terminal (i.e. similar to the git bash prompt or cygwin), then it's possible.

[vkbansal]

Okay. I'm closing this issue
