resolved node bin missing: {} — install appears corrupted

Error message

resolved node bin missing: {} — install appears corrupted

What it means

build_resolved assembled the platform-specific executable names (node/npm[.exe]) inside the resolved bin directory and the node binary is not a regular file. The install directory exists but its contents are incomplete — a corrupted, truncated or tampered managed install.

Solutions

1. Delete the managed Node install directory (under the workspace runtime cache) so the next resolve() re-downloads a fresh distribution
2. Check disk space and antivirus quarantine that may have removed the binary
