Node.js - Could not locate the bindings file

Question

I'm trying to run an app of node-ffi on my windows 7 PC with Nodejs v6.2.0, but it crashes with the following error . I tried a variety of methods, but did not resolve my problem

Answer 1

Try to install module:

npm install bindings --save
npm install

re launch app.

Answer 2

I also faced the same issue. For me, downgrading the node version from 7.3.0 to 6.9.2 worked. I am not sure what is the exact reason though.
