Azure Devops Build/Tool warnings for Node version

MS is deprecating node versions again, so our builds have started logging the following warnings:

Task 'Advanced Installer Tool Installer' version 2 (AdvancedInstallerTool@2) is dependent on a Node version (16) that is end-of-life. Contact the extension owner for an updated version of the task. Task maintainers should review Node upgrade guidance: https://aka.ms/node-runner-guidance

Re: Azure Devops Build/Tool warnings for Node version

Hello,

First of all, please accept my apologies for the delayed reply - it's holiday season and we are a bit behind on schedule on support due to colleagues being away.

Please note that the warning can be ignored, as it does not affect the task.

It is indeed true that we support multiple versions and it looks like this warning comes up from time to time.

After discussing with the developer about this, it turns out we can ignore the warning.

However, I will create a task to see whether it is possible to remove the previous versions (like 10, 16, etc.). We haven't so far because some customers might still be using them and we did not want to interrupt their pipelines.

Best regards,
Catalin
