NX   Missing Platform Dependency

The Nx CLI could not find or load the native binary for your supported platform (win32-x64).
This likely means that optional dependencies were not installed correctly, or your system is missing some system dependencies.

Something is going on here. See #26930

Hey thanks for the report!
Did you go through the Nx Install troubleshooting guide?
Issues like this are often related to nvm or node installation issues.

Please let me know if you've gone through the steps in here and are still facing issues.

@MaxKless Please see my comments in #26930.

I don't understand the troubleshooting guide.

Does it mean the whole initial installation, eg npx create-nx-workspace...?

In my case, that would be quite onerous. I have already gone through the whole installation process and that seemed to work. It is only when I issue an nx command I get the error message.

I did eventually find a pretty simple workaround that might help you trace the problem. See my comment here: #26930 (comment).

It is strange that this has just started happening. Over the years, I have created several angular mono repos for different clients, and this has never been a problem.

@MaxKless when I went through the troubleshooting guide, I found a solution that worked for me: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Thanks ❤️
