"Error: Cannot find module"

Is this a BUG or a FEATURE REQUEST?:

What happened: Running

compile({
      name: 'myExe',
      input: 'dist/lib/index.exe.js',
      target: 'windows-x64-8.9.4',
      build: false,
      output: exePath,
      resources: [],
      loglevel: 'verbose',
    });

Compiles the executable fine, however when I run the executable I get a “Error: Cannot find module”.

I recently updated nexe from 2.0.0-rc.26 to the latest version (3.3.2) and tried the next version (4.0.0-beta.1) but it cannot find any modules included in node_modules

What you expected to happen:

I would expect the modules kept in node_modules to be found by my application code.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

compile({
      name: 'myExe',
      input: 'dist/lib/index.exe.js',
      target: 'windows-x64-8.9.4',
      build: false,
      output: exePath,
      resources: [],
      loglevel: 'verbose',
    });

• Platform(OS/Version): Windows 10
• Host Node Version: v8.14.0
• Target Node Version: windows-x64-8.9.4
• Nexe version: 3.3.2 and 4.0.0-beta.1
• Python Version:

If I do a nexe -t macos -n myapp bin/myapp.js right now it generates a binary but as soon as I move it to another directory it fails. If I use the pkg project it works as expected. What do I need to do to tell the build to be static and not expecting a particular file system path?

@calebboyd any suggestions as to why this is happening?
