Possibly related issue

I did terrible troubleshooting by trying random things and not documenting properly, and caused more issues for myself, but at one point had this exact problem.

So, on a hunch, check if the target of the nodejs symlink in "Program Files" exists and if so, is it pointing to an actual existing node installation in .config/herd/bin/nvm ? After reinstalling herd as you did, if you didn't delete the symlink, it should be pointing at a non-existent node directory.

The symnlink was already deleted and after reinstall Herd and click install nvm doesn´t set the enviroment variables, only create the 3 files on te image above

@tm69 can you try and manually run the install.ps1 script in powershell?
