OK, this is solved.

I installed nativescript with sidekick, everything went (no errors or none that I saw).

My colleague did the same thing (install with sidekick), downloaded the same tutorial app and everything worked.

The solutions mentioned in here e.g. changing --max_old_space_size=4096 to 2000 or something other is an option of node.js.

After checking the version of node.js of my colleague we saw that he had 8.1.0 and that I had 6.10.3.
with the following tool you can list the available node.js version and there arch.

Mine was 6.10.3 with 32-bit arch.

I installed 8.11.1 - 64 bit arch and my issue disappeared.

In my search I came across posts about a 1.9GB limit somewhere, so I guess my issue had something to do with 32/64 bit env.
