I built/tested this version, there's an error in the version check logic preventing the install of the latest ARM64 (22.5.1) version:

As currently written, for the latest version (22.5.1), it passes the main version check, but then fails the minor version check since the value of minor is 5 which is lower than 9.

func IsNodeArm64bitAvailable(v string) bool {
	if v == "latest" {
		return true
	}

	// Anything below version 8 doesn't have a 64 bit version
	vers := strings.Fields(strings.Replace(v, ".", " ", -1))
	main, _ := strconv.ParseInt(vers[0], 0, 0)
	minor, _ := strconv.ParseInt(vers[1], 0, 0)
	fmt.Println("main "+ strconv.FormatInt(main,10) + " minor "+strconv.FormatInt(minor,10))
	if main < 19 {
		return false
	}
	if minor < 9{
		return false
	}
	
	// TODO: fixme. Assume a 64 bit version exists
	return true
}

Update - I'm working with Microsoft to get a new code signing certificate. Once that is done, I'll start merging PRs (including this one).

Hi,
any update?

Only the 64-bit binaries of nvm exist as of the latest release (https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases/tag/1.2.1) 🤔

how should this work?
i don't see a arm build as a binary and the current setup.exe will download the x86_64 variant of nodejs

so should there be a setup.exe of nvm that is for aarch64 that downloads then the aarch64 of nodejs? or should the x86 variant of nvm do that depending on what it arch it sees?

Yes, originally it uses an arch for which it was compiled. Since there are no provided binaries for every platform, you may need to use the arch option to install for arm (e.g., nvm i 20 arm64).

I've made a PR that updates arch detection, but I'm not sure if it will work in all cases. I'll look for a better way to detect arm arch.
