DIfferent Node.js version, DLL Initializing

See original GitHub issue

Hi fyears,

I’m following your tutorial after so many days of trying to get along with tkinter. In a way it feels weird to have two backends running seperatly (node and python), but in my case this is just what i need, because i build my framework, which I want to use, in python.

Unfortunately I’m facing an issue when running npm start. The window shows up, already showing the DOM like I want to look like, but the console opens up with the following error:

ELECTRON_ASAR.js:173
Uncaught Error: The module '\\?\C:\Users\Thomas\Projekte\merge-documents\settings\node_modules\zerorpc\node_modules\zeromq\build\Release\zmq.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 50. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 53. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or`npm install`).

[...]

So I run npm rebuild and try it again. Now the console shows the following error:

Uncaught Error: Eine DLL-Initialisierungsroutine ist fehlgeschlagen.

The german sentence of the uncaught error means “A DLL initialization routine failed” 😉

Thanks in advance, Thomas
