Can't install with node 20.11.1 on Windows

The issue

When installing this package on Windows, I get an error:

$ npm i ipfs-car
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall lstat
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: ...

The log doesn't help much. This part is repeated three times:

I use node v20.11.1 and npm 10.2.4 on Windows 11.

To reproduce

nvm use 20.11.1
npm i ipfs-car

fwiw node v18.18.2/npm 10.8.1 worked fine on wsl2 ubuntu on windows 11 over here, as did node 20.15.0/npm 10.7.0 .

maybe a transitive dependency fixed itself in the meantime?

no, the error is still present.
