I tried installing icu globally but it seems invisible to the embedded nodejs (my system has v22 globally, but this tool has an embedded v18)

Try not to use a standalone “.exe” file. I suggest installing MQTTX CLI via npm or docker, It can eliminate some differences between systems. It will handle dependencies correctly:

docker pull emqx/mqttx-cli
docker run -it --rm emqx/mqttx-cli

npm install mqttx-cli -g

Seems like you forgot to pack faker as a dependency -- running npm install @faker-js/faker -g got me past this for the moment.

Hmm, connects ok (azure event grid mqtt5 broker) but just hangs afterwards :/

Sorry. 😓 Has been already fixed on #1801; release to the next version...

npm issue fixed.
