On windows 11 I can't use npm with node 17.4.0 when I explicitly ask to install npm 8.3.1 (which is shipped with this node version by default):

C:\Users\maxim\my-project>python -m nodeenv nodeenv --node=17.4.0 --npm=8.3.1 --with-npm
 * Install prebuilt node (17.4.0) ..... done.
symbolic link created for nodeenv\Scripts\nodejs.exe <<===>> node.exe
 * Install npm.js (8.3.1) ...
C:\Users\maxim\my-project>nodeenv\Scripts\activate.bat   
(nodeenv) C:\Users\maxim\my-project>node -v
v17.4.0

(nodeenv) C:\Users\maxim\my-project>npm -v
8.3.1

(nodeenv) C:\Users\maxim\my-project>npm install something
npm ERR! Unexpected token '.'

Here's a very similar issue with nvm4w: coreybutler/nvm-windows#814

This works:

python -m nodeenv nodeenv --node=17.4.0
npm install -g [email protected]
npm install something

Another example: node 18.3.0 and npm 8.3.1.

Doesn't work when installed using nodeenv, but if I install node using nodeend, activate env, then run npm i -g [email protected] - it works fine.

The same here with node 16.14.2

I've changed my node version with nvm to 16.12.0 and the problem was fixed.
