I'm trying to install Node JS v8.12.0 on Windows 7, using the following installer downloaded from the Node website: https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.12.0/node-v8.12.0-win-x86.zip
When I run the installer, it just hangs on the first window it opens - please see screen below.
It may have something to do with the fact that I uninstalled a previous version of Node by following this solution: How to completely remove node.js from Windows
I also had NVM for Windows installed previously, which I also uninstalled.
So I am trying to install Node again from scratch, but this time it just hangs forever.
I'm running it with Elevated Privileges on a work machine, which has always worked when installed Node in the past, including this version (8.12.0).

I guess you are using the binary version of Node for Windows.
Try to download and use this installer:
https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/node-v8.15.0-x86.msi
