Research direction
Start by tracing the Windows MSI installer’s Start menu documentation shortcut and compare its generated URL with the proper /download/v8-canary/.../docs/api/ path shown here. Done means the shortcut resolves to that documented canary URL rather than the /download/custom/... 404.

Description
Meaning this shortcut in Start menu:
For example, in this build:
https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v10.0.0-v8-canary20180306870146ff63/
Proper URL: https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v10.0.0-v8-canary20180306870146ff63/docs/api/
Shortcut URL: https://nodejs.org/download/custom/v10.0.0-v8-canary20180306870146ff63/docs/api/ (404)
