I had the same issue and found a workaround that works for me. The problem seems to be that the designer can't execute the node binary because it is in a different directory. My fix was to create a link to the real binary by executing mklink /H %userprofile%\.vaadin\designer-node-server\node.exe %userprofile%\.vaadin\node\node.exe
