Summary
I cloned the git to use in my own development environment which is on a Debian 12 machine. I am building for Windows. When I run the command to package a Windows zip I dont receive any errors. Once I download the zip onto my Windows machine and run the app, the client will connect to my server, but in the background I get an unhandled exception.
When I check the file type of the focusassit.node, it shows as an ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Steps to reproduce
Build the app just fine, but after downloading and running the client I get the unhandled exception.

Expected behavior
Build app, download client without any errors.

Observed behavior
Build the app just fine, but after downloading and running the client I get the unhandled exception.

Hmm im sorry there may be some confusion Im currently running a server, but i desire certain implementations/features, so i set up a development environment following the guides. Im running vscode on a debian machine so i installed the required dependencies suggested for the ubuntu setup. All i have done is add 1 function to the code. Anytime i run the commands ‘npm run clean-install’ and the command for package:windows-zip, the focusassist module will only build in ELF binary which doesn’t seem right since electron-builder should be able to build the package in x64…

Sorry, I have no idea. This is a community forum, not an official support method. Maybe someone who knows or has an idea will come along. I;d suggest joining the Developers channel and asking there.
