[BUG] SF CLI Installation issue with NodeJS 20.12.2 on Windows

[jag-j]

If you are trying to install SF CLI with NodeJS 20.12.2 on Windows, it would fail because of a known issue in CLI - forcedotcom/cli#2822. A fix for this (and other spawn uses) was shipped in nightly last night and will be promoted to latest-rc later today (April 17th) by the CLI team.

It will be promoted to latest on April 24th.

I have seen another issue after I updated NodeJS on Salesforce corp mac.

SF-CLI has released their new version with a fix for this issue, thereby fixing us downstream from them. As such, we're closing this issue.
