It didn't reproduction on my windows machine.
It does exist in the registry: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc
I guess your npm cache is corrupted or something 🤔
npm cache clean might work.

[wal0x]

I ran npm cache clean --force before and I tested on 3 diffrent machines. All the same :/

[rewrib]

I get the same error, if I run:
npm install --save-dev vite
npx vite
I am running this Win10. Downgrading to "vite": "^4.4.0" fixes this for me.

"optionalDependencies": {
"@rollup/rollup-win32-x64-msvc": "4.20.0"
}

This will fix this issue
