A different "Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application"

[O haya]

Hi,

I know I posted about getting a "Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" error on the installation I'm doing for node-java on Windows (Windows 10 64 bit, in this case) in an earlier post, but I am also getting that error in a different situation, so I wanted to separate the issues.

In this case, I have a really small test app, "really-small-test.js":

var java = require('java');

It's a "1 line" only.

If I am in the node directory, "E:\INSTALL-FILES\Node.js\EXPLODED\node-v6.10.0-win-x64\", and I run "node really-small-test.js", it runs without error.

But, if I change directory to a different directory "E:\apps\.....\gx_expressweb" and run "node really-small-test.js", I am getting:

module.js:597

  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));

                 ^

Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

\\?\E:\apps\...\gx_expressweb\node_modules\java\build\Release\nodejavabridge_bindings.node

    at Module._compile (module.js:570:32)

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10)

 Why would running that small all, which is only doing "require('java')" work when I run it in the base node.JS directory, but blow up when I run the same app in a different directory?

I have checked that I have NODE_PATH set correctly in the environment and also node is on the PATH.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi,

For the record, I found what was causing this problem.  It turned out that had another node_modules directory under that "gx_expressweb" directory.  Actually, I'm not sure how that directory got there, but anyway I deleted *that* node_modules dir and then "node really-small-test.js" also ran ok!
