CDF tool not installed with ArcGIS Enterprise SDK 11.1

[JohnLandeborg1]

I'm able to install CDF tool using version 11.2 but not 11.1 downloaded from my esri.

No warning or prompt during installation and the folder customdatacli is not created.

Hello. Can you verify that you do not have Node.js installed on this machine in the past with any of the Node.js installers? If you've installed Node.js before with the .msi Windows installer for instance, and then you try to use NVM, this can cause the problem you are describing.

yes, node was installed previously from windows msi. both node and Enterprise sdk were uninstalled, then nvm was installed, then sdk was installed. If node was previously installed does that prevent sdk from using node via nvm?

[John_Hash]

No that shouldn't prevent the Enterprise SDK from using Node.js installed with NVM. The problem would only arise if Node.js was installed via both methods at the same time.

If you check the current version of Node.js that is installed with 'node --version' in a command prompt, which version does it show? Also, when you install the Enterprise SDK, what warning does the SDK installation prompt give you about your Node.js version?

I also suspect that there is still some issue with which Node.js version is installed. I would suggest checking out some resources like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47017812/nvm-use-does-not-switch-node-versions

1. No. I'm on a Windows 10 developer machine and using nvm as suggested (Install and Configure ArcGIS Server Custom Data Feeds | ArcGIS Enterprise SDK). Version 16.19.1 caused a warning, so I switched to 16.20.2 and the installation went through silently

2. I will try 14.21.3 but the instuctions does not mention nothing below 16.19.1

3, Yes Windows and nvm. Use nvm for a long time but will try to remove and install node 14.21.3 as you suggest.
