try download it by yourself，in https://github.com/vercel/pkg-fetch/releases, and rename ‘node14-win-arm64’ to ‘fetched-v14.19.1-win-arm64’.

Can you share more info? I got the same problem. I tried downloaing node-v16.16.0-win-x64 and ran pkg -t fetched-v16.15.0-win-x64 main.js

output:

> pkg@5.8.0
> Error! Unknown token 'fetched' in 'fetched-v16.15.0-win-x64'

after downloaded and renamed, have a try: pkg -t node-v16.16.0-win-x64 main.js
