### Current Behavior

`npm install` on my CI job sometimes fails to complete because of a random postinstall failure.



I think it might be related to multiple different versions of `nx` package brought by `nx-dotnet`:

```

> npm ls nx



+-- @nx-dotnet/core@2.2.0

| +-- @nx-dotnet/utils@2.2.0

| | `-- @nx/devkit@17.0.2

| |   `-- nx@18.3.5

| |     `-- @nrwl/tao@18.3.5

| |       `-- nx@18.3.5 deduped

| `-- @nx/devkit@17.0.2

|   `-- nx@18.3.5

|     `-- @nrwl/tao@18.3.5

|       `-- nx@18.3.5 deduped

+-- @nx/devkit@19.2.3

| `-- nx@19.2.3 deduped

+-- @nx/js@19.2.3

| `-- @nx/workspace@19.2.3

|   `-- nx@19.2.3 deduped

`-- nx@19.2.3

  `-- @nrwl/tao@19.2.3

    `-- nx@19.2.3 deduped

```



Also, I found that it never fails when I use

```shell

npm install --foreground-scripts

```



### Expected Behavior

If it is true that two different `nx` versions can conflict when installing, then it would be helpful to handle it if possible

### GitHub Repo

_No response_

### Steps to Reproduce

1. generate workspace with `nx@19.2.3` and `@nx-dotnet/core@2.2.0`

2. run `npm install`

In my case, I use an Ubuntu-based Jenkins job without `dotnet` (which might be important for nx-dotnet but shouldn't be a problem for overall `npm install` in `nx` workspace)

```groovy

pipeline {

  agent {

    docker { image 'mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:jammy' }

  }

  stages {

    stage('Install dependencies') {

      steps {

        sh 'npm install --verbose'

      }

    }

  }

}

```
