ioBroker on Win10-CodePudding

all!

What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? I try to install ioBroker on a Win10 server. I'll append a (kind of) log from the PowerShell session below.

Additional: There is a Visual Studio 2019 Community and a Visual Studio Code installed. I have not much experience with the Windows Build Tools (using VB.Net and C# until now), but it seems to me as if they are installed. I have installed Node.JS (including NPM) and NVM, using Node.JS 16.13.0.

I get no errors installing ioBroker, but no function either. It seems to me as if at least something is installed, getting all the subdirs below /iobroker, esp. the /iobroker/node_modules/iobroker subdir. But there is no service to start with "net start iobroker".

It looks like you need npm6 to follow those installation notes. Use

npm i -g npm@6

to downgrade.
