Firebase (and presumably other native modules) fails

Using nexe@next on Windows 10, with Node v8.12.0 and firebase@5.5.2.

Attempting nexe index.js fails if index.js is simply var firebase = require("firebase"); with the error:

Error! Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\hiberfil.sys'

Attempting to build with an earlier version of nexe will succeed but fail at runtime.

Yeah I get this:

(node:1076) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\pagefile.sys'

Here’s a fix that worked for me: Well, it seems it’s nexe problem, trying for unknown reason to access C:\hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys, those files are only accessible by system user, the first if used for hibernation (when windows enters in deep sleep mode), the second is the swap file. I disabled the first file via this command: powercfg -h off you need to run it from a command prompt as Administrator. For the second file, you need to disable virtual memory, you may follow those simple instructions https://www.trishtech.com/2014/11/disable-virtual-memory-in-windows-10/

then reboot

and execute your commands as Administrator.
