Same for me in Linux, but in Windows works well after installing Windows SDK 10.0.22000

Try this out! It resolves many common issues during version upgrades and is fully compatible with the latest Electron version. The library and APIs remain consistent since it’s a fork of the original project.

• No dependencies on NAN or V8: Powered by an N-API addon for better compatibility and performance.
• Platform Support: Currently supported on Windows only, but support for other platforms can be added via pull requests.

Hello @Susheer,

I recently tried your project and encountered a few issues I’d like to bring to your attention.

1. I noticed that the latest release of the project is version 2.0.2, but the prebuilt binaries for this version are missing in the Releases tab on GitHub. Only binaries for version 2.0.1 are available.
2. I’m unable to build my Electron project when using this package. Below is the log output for reference:

Additionally, I wanted to share that I find your focus on a NAPI-based implementation to be brilliant! I’d love to contribute to the project and support its development. However, I’d appreciate some guidance on how to get started.

Thank you for your time and effort on this project. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,
Marlon.

Here's a polite and engaging response you can send: ------------------------------ Hi Marlon, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for giving the project a try! I appreciate you taking the time to highlight the issues you've encountered. Regarding the missing binaries for version 2.0.2, I’ll ensure this is addressed as soon as possible. I’ll upload the prebuilt binaries for the latest release and verify the build process to ensure everything works seamlessly. As for the build errors you’re facing, there might be a mismatch in the compiler settings. Specifically, the -std=gnu++20 flag causing issues suggests that the built environment might need a slight adjustment. I’ll investigate this further and update the documentation to help others facing similar challenges. To help us debug the issue more effectively, could you please open an issue on the GitHub repository? It would be great if you could include the following details: - Operating System and version - Node.js version - NPM version - Electron version - Platform and architecture (e.g., x64, arm64) - Steps to reproduce the issue - Any additional logs or screenshots that might help I'm thrilled that you’re interested in contributing! Your expertise would be a great addition to the project. Here are a few ways you can get started: 1. *Check the Issues Tab*: I’ll label beginner-friendly issues and tasks that need attention. 2. *Platform Support*: Since the library is Windows-only, extending support to other platforms could be a fantastic contribution. 3. *Documentation*: Improving setup guides and troubleshooting documentation could help future contributors and users. Thanks again for your support and enthusiasm—I’m excited to collaborate with you! Best regards, Susheer

There is this option too, it doesn't have all the APIs, but it works well
