Node JS is not installed on win machine

When I am trying to install node on win machine, I always get this error:

An error occurred while applying security settings.
Authenticated Users is not a valid user or group. This
could be a problem with the package, or a problem
connecting to a domain controller on the network. Check
your network connection and click Retry, or Cancel to
end the install.

What may be a reason and how it may be solved? Thanks

Try the Previous Version (v14.17.1), worked for me.
The error seems to be related to non domain joined Computers with Admin User.

Edit:
The Version v14.17.3 seems to have a fix (stated in the node Gitlab Issue Install directory permissions broken on non-English Windows systems)

Reason has been provided by @JIT Solution

To resolve: add the missing group.

  1. Open the "Computer Management" tool

  2. Open the "Local Users and Group" tree.

  3. Open the "Groups" folder and search for a profile named "Authenticated Users", it should be missing.

  4. Right-click on the Groups folder and select New Group. Type in "Authenticated Users" (case sensitive) as the New Group name and select Create.

Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator and type:

net localgroup /add "Authenticated Users"

Then click the "Retry" button or run the installation file again.
