createAuthenticodeHandler keeps returning null

[si458]

Code:

const path = require('path');
const file = path.resolve('dist\\ourbackups-win64.exe');
console.log(file);
const exehandler = require("authenticode-js").createAuthenticodeHandler(file);
console.log(exehandler);

Output:

PS C:\Users\sas_2\Documents\Developer\ourbackups> node .\mytest.js
C:\Users\sas_2\Documents\Developer\ourbackups\dist\ourbackups-win64.exe
null
PS C:\Users\sas_2\Documents\Developer\ourbackups> 

But the file does exist

PS C:\Users\sas_2\Documents\Developer\ourbackups> C:\Users\sas_2\Documents\Developer\ourbackups\dist\ourbackups-win64.exe
