lerna: Unable to build on windows due to module not found @nrwl\nx-win32-x64-msvc\nx.win32-x64-msvc.node

This is an issue affecting Windows machines:

Current Behavior

I can successfully build on Linux, but when my colleagues attempt the same build on windows, they encounter the above error. Looking in the node_modules folder I can see the nx.win32-x64-msvc.node file in the expected path.

Expected Behavior

Builds should work on Windows as well as Linux machines.

Steps to Reproduce

Using a Windows machine and Node v18.13.0 npm v8.19.3

Follow steps:

git clone https://github.com/lerna/getting-started-example.git
cd getting-started-example
git checkout prelerna
npm install

Within the above folder

npx lerna@latest init
npm install
npx lerna@latest run build

The following message is shown on Windows machines

{
  "$schema": "node_modules/lerna/schemas/lerna-schema.json",
  "useWorkspaces": true,
  "version": "0.0.0"
}

Environment

lerna notice cli v6.6.0

Environment info:

System: OS: Windows 10 10.0.17763 CPU: (2) x64 Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Binaries: Node: 18.13.0 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE npm: 8.19.3 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD Utilities: Git: 2.39.0. - /mingw64/bin/git npmPackages: lerna: ^6.6.0 => 6.6.0

@lnmp4000 can you try installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64)

You can get the download here -> https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Accessing native windows code (nx-win32-arm64-msvc package) requires above redistributable. Hope this helps. I faced the similar error and found that i didnt have the redistributable installed. Installing it fixed the error

I came across this https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/7104#issuecomment-967260755 and it helped

These steps help me:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable;
Remove node_modules directory;
Remove package-lock.json file;
npm cache verify;
Restart the machine;
npm install;

For me also helped! I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64). I had similar issue:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1327 return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename)); ^

Error: The specified module could not be found. \?\C:\Users[user_folder]\Documents\epenses-app\node_modules@rollup\rollup-win32-x64-msvc\rollup.win32-x64-msvc.node

This error occurs when you install the 32-bit version of Node on a 64-bit Windows system.

The fix for this issue is to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package on any affected windows machine.
