Reproduction

1. Create a new project using npx nuxi@latest init NuxtTest (doesn’t matter which package manager)
2. Build the app
3. Run the app
4. Go to localhost:3000
5. Receive error

For reference: https://github.com/GalacticHypernova/NuxtFailTest

Describe the bug

There appears to be an issue with the server-renderer module not being found which causes any project (even just the starter template with no change whatsoever) to instantly break on production.

Additional context

The template in https://nuxt.new works fine, so I’m guessing it’s a Windows only issue.
