Are you facing an issue in downloading Node Js?
What OS do you have?
If it is Windows let me know I will help you by remotely controlling your system.

Also, pls check your D drive has enough free space

Are you still experiencing an issue, or can this be closed?

The problem still exists, version: node-v22.5.1-x64.msi

[RedYetiDev]

Does D:/nodejs/ exist?

[mr-september]

Faced the same issue.

Windows 11, node-v20.16.0-x64.msi, cannot write to E:/nodejs/.

Solved by realizing I had an ancient nodejs folder already at that path. Deleted it and install worked fine.

This is generally a good solution. The original author hasn't responded to any comments, so I assume they have resolved the issue.
