"zmq.node" is not a valid DLL or Win32 application on Windows with Electron

[ndrantotiana]

Hello.
I'm using bozon to scaffold an Electron project.
I tried to add [email protected] with the generated Electron project (Electron version is 1.8.4) and while launching (not yet packaging for now) it on OS X, it is working but on Windows, it won't works telling "A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed" for "node_modules\zeromq\build\Release\zmq.node".
I have already execute "npm rebuild zeromq --runtime=electron --target=1.8.4" before running the app but it's not working.
Any assistance would be welcome.

I tried using a basic electron app without any kind of scaffolding tools to create it, I still received the same error.
I think it is the fact that the build of zeromq on Windows for Electron 1.8.4 is not yet compatible. With Electron 1.7.x, I receive "The module '' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 54. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module...."

I re-created my project from scratch and now on Windows, I get this:

App threw an error during load
Error: The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2.

and that even after rebuilding "zeromq" with npm rebuild zeromq --runtime=electron --target=1.8.4.
I noticed that when rebuilding it, I still hae some linking warnings:

Anyone could help me please?

Thank you in advance.

I found the main issue but I don't know how to solve it yet. It is the fact that prebuild-install module doesn't found a module in zmq.node file when trying to require it. I found that prebuild-install adds a "\\?\" before the path where the "zmq.node" is.
I'm wondering if it is a bug of "prebuild" or a bug of the prebuilt/generated "zmq.node" file for electron 1.8.x. Note that there doesn't seem any issues with prebuilt version for electron 1.7.x

It is now fine with prebuild-install 2.5.3

Seems is same error, so please refer my answer in this post:

A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed

And the solution is:

Change
node\_modules\\zerorpc\\node\_modules\\zeromq\\lib\\index.js
from

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
  , zmq = require('../build/Release/zmq.node')
  , util = require('util');

to:

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter

let path = require('path')
let zmqNodePath = path.join("..", "build", "Release", "zmq.node")
var zmq = require(zmqNodePath)

var util = require('util')
