What steps will reproduce the bug?

Attempt to install https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.12.2/node-v20.12.2-arm64.msi (on top of an existing x64 install, see Additional Notes below)

Unclear what DLL is missing.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Every time.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Node installs.

What do you see instead?

Error dialog.

Additional information

Context:
The default node install that edge selected was the x64 version, which works.

But then the vscode svelte integration was crashing because @rollup/rollup-win32-arm64-msvc couldn't be found, and npm correctly reports EBADPLATFORM for me because I have the x64 node currently installed.
