It's a general issue of deploying windows desktop apps..you need to make sure you have the set of DLLs that the app use.
What you'll probably want to do is to find the minimal set of DLLs that you need to package with your app.
This is a good place to start: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
As probably most of the DLLs are part of this package.
Another option is to use a dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) on the native addon in order to see which DLLs are needed.

Thanks the package worked! I dug some deeper and found that you need the dlls from this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\redist\x64\Microsoft.VC140.CRT\

There are 4 dlls there, of which 2 are already present in Electron. Turns out that if you copy vccorlib140.dll to the app folder (where the .exe is) the module works again on every computer.

Maybe Electron should include all these dlls by default (not just the two), I'll suggest it.

@Janneman84 Adding these dlls to the "win-unpacked" directory (where the .exe is) worked for me if I just distribute that directory, but did you ever find any way to get these dlls included in the Setup.exe?

I'm using electron-window-installer, where you can just specify a build folder. Put the dlls in the build folder and you're done. I don't know what you use to make installers.

I'm stuck on this.
I've installed VS Express 2015, Windows 10 Development Kit, Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (x86) and (x64), and node-gyp.

I generate the namespace windows.media successfully using the UI. I open up the windows.media folder with a terminal and use this command node-gyp rebuild --target=1.8.4 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell it builds successfully. I then move windows.media into my node_modules folder.

In my node script I have this:

const { MediaPlaybackStatus } = require('windows.media');

console.log(MediaPlaybackStatus);

when I run the script, I get

PS C:\Users\errat\Documents\Code\foobar> node app.js
C:\Users\errat\Documents\Code\foobar\node_modules\windows.media\lib\main.js:22
  throw e;
  ^

Error: The specified module could not be found.

I did get it working before as it did do the console.log, though just to be sure I was doing it right and I didn't just stumble across the answer, I deleted it and tried doing everything again and I cannot get it work.

This is currently a test folder with nothing but the node_modules folder, app.js, and package.json.

Also, how can I use dependency walker on a module? What file would I open with dependency walker?

@Janneman84 how did you come to this conclusion:

I dug some deeper and found that you need the dlls from this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\redist\x64\Microsoft.VC140.CRT\

I'm trying to use Dependency Walker but I don't know which file to walk. I've checked these but none load:

Here's a screenshot of the sentry error:

Pasting text here to keep the search crawlers happy:

\\?\C:\Users\Desktop-tle\AppData\Local\Temp\ce2f24a3-67e3-4d29-9fef-1c93b5e5e9ef.tmp.node

app:///node_modules/@nodert-win10-rs3/windows.devices.enumeration/lib/main.js in Object.<anonymous> at line 25:20

My fault. I had to give dependency walker more time. 🕙 It takes a minute to open the node file.

I created a new folder app/win-dlls and copied vccorlib140.dll to it. Then, I added to package.json for electron-builder integration:

    "win": {
      "target": ["nsis"],
      "extraFiles": {
        "from": "app/win-dlls/"
      }
    },

Once built, I double-checked that vccorlib140.dll existed in win-unpacked

I was able to replicate the error by uninstalling all of the MS VS C++ programs, and then verify that a build of my app that includes vccorlib140.dll works without error. 💯 Thank you!
