I believe this requires setting runtime variables (specifically %NVM_PATH%) before the install, something which winget currently is unable to do.

[NJT145]

Not before, but after. But you are right. I will create an issue request at nvm-windows github page, and inform you about the results.

[NJT145]

I created an issue at here for that issue.
Anyone can follow the results from there.
I will keep open this issue request for a while while I am waiting for an answer from my nvm-windows issue request.

This issue wont going to fix. Developer plans to develop another tool based on nvm-windows...
As a result, I created a script in order to solve that. I put my code here, so anyone that will need a solution can use it.
Here is my windows powershell code:

winget install -e -i --id=CoreyButler.NVMforWindows --location="$env:PROGRAMDATA\nvm" --source=winget
if (-not ($null -eq [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_HOME', 'User'))) { [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_HOME', [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_HOME', 'User'), 'Machine'); }; #[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_HOME', '', 'User');
if (-not ($null -eq [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_SYMLINK', 'User'))) { [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_SYMLINK', [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_SYMLINK', 'User'), 'Machine'); }; #[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_SYMLINK', '', 'User');
$NVM_HOME = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_HOME', 'Machine');
if (-not [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'Machine').Split(";").Contains($NVM_HOME)) { $Old_Path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'Machine'); $New_Path = [System.String]::Concat($Old_Path, ';', $NVM_HOME); [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $New_Path, 'Machine'); $Old_Path = $New_Path = $null; }
if ([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User').Split(";").Contains($NVM_HOME)) { $Old_Path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'); $New_Path = $Old_Path.Replace(";$NVM_HOME", "").Replace("$NVM_HOME;", ""); [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $New_Path, 'User'); $Old_Path = $New_Path = $null; }
$NVM_SYMLINK = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('NVM_SYMLINK', 'Machine');
if (-not [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'Machine').Split(";").Contains($NVM_SYMLINK)) { $Old_Path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'Machine'); $New_Path = [System.String]::Concat($Old_Path, ';', $NVM_SYMLINK); [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $New_Path, 'Machine'); $Old_Path = $New_Path = $null; }
if ([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User').Split(";").Contains($NVM_SYMLINK)) { $Old_Path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'); $New_Path = $Old_Path.Replace(";$NVM_SYMLINK", "").Replace("$NVM_SYMLINK;", ""); [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', $New_Path, 'User'); $Old_Path = $New_Path = $null; }
