Unsupported global NODE_OPTIONS cause process to crash
When the user has something set in the NODE_OPTIONS that is not supported by the node.js version included by NativeExt, the processes will fail t spawn with
native-ext.exe/.bin: <value> is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS
(see browser console) which is reported by the NativeExt extension as
The application is not installed correctly: The Port this request is waiting on was destroyed
Setting SET "NODE_OPTIONS=" in the bin/latest.bat (Windows) fixes that, but completely ignores the NODE_OPTIONS.
That might not be a bad idea anyway, since specific development options can already be set via the --node-options= argument when installing NativeExt.
