Error: Cannot find module './'

Question

I stumbled upon this error when trying to start my application via NPM start. I am not sure where the problem lies, because it worked fine in my other computer (I unzip the file to this computer ran, npm install just in case and then tried to start it, but then the following error is thrown below).

Any help would be appreciated.

    module.js:340
        throw err;
              ^

UPDATE

After solving the above error, the following error is thrown

I am running this through bash on windows 10, and have tried to install all required libraries to get the electron app to start via npm start on windows (works fine in my ubuntu)

Answer 1

The shutdown check fail is a known issue . Electron runs just fine as a native Windows app, so just do that instead of over-complicating things with Bash on Windows.
