I can't reinstall or update Electron package

Question

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.125] (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

D:\\nodejs projects\\New>npm update electron

electron@1.8.1 postinstall D:\\nodejs projects\\New\\node_modules\\electron node install.js

I have this error when I start the project:

Error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

Answer 1

The comment from @illiteratewriter did the trick:

Remove electron and add it again using the following commands:

npm uninstall electron
npm install electron
