Summary
Current rebase of #5233
On Windows when adding npx extensions, Goose tries to find node.exe at default paths in Program Files, and then fails for everyone that installed node elsewhere. This PR tries to also find the path from the registry, which should mitigate the problem for people that already have node installed, but in a different folder.
Also the error messages are made a bit clearer about what the problem is, so that users can try to rectify it on their own.
