Vite server and package installations fail on my system with error 3221225477 though other machines work fine. Tested firewall, reinstalls, and caches; nothing worked. Example script:

function alternativeInstall() {
  console.info('Alternate install execution');
}
alternativeInstall();

hey alex, i had similar probs and found clearing node_modules and reinstalling fixes it sometimes. also make sure your node versoin works with vite reqs. could also be some lingering env vars mucking up the process. give that a try

I resolved a similar issue by taking a closer look at my system’s dependency health. In my case, even though the node version was up to date, I discovered that an outdated Visual C++ redistributable was causing interference. After reinstalling the latest runtime libraries and ensuring that all system-level components were current, the error was resolved. This experience taught me that in some cases the problem is not with Vite or node itself, but with external libraries and dependencies that need to be maintained properly for consistent performance.

I encountered a similar issue when my Vite installations were failing, and after spending some time testing different configurations I discovered that the error sometimes results from an environment-specific conflict, particularly with certain system-level libraries being incompatible or corrupted. I resolved the problem by ensuring all dependencies were updated and verifying that the node version in use matches Vite’s recommendations. Checking system environment variables related to node execution also helped me track down a conflicting configuration that caused this precise error.

The error you’re encountering appears to be your system-specific issue rather than a problem with Vite itself. From my experience, issues like these can sometimes be resolved by checking your antivirus or security software which might be stopping node processes from correctly executing. I once experienced a similar error and discovered that running my terminal as an administrator temporarily bypassed certain restrictions. Additionally, verifying that your system’s library installations are working properly could be essential. Checking event logs for more detailed error messages often gives further insight into the underlying cause.
