The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2 while require('buffertools')

Window7 x86 Node 5.10.1 I try to build buffertools such way:

node-gyp configure
node-gyp build -d

Then I got the error while requiring buffertools (require('buffertools');):

The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2.
\\?\D:\work\terminal_second\build\Wjbets-v0.1.03\node_modules\buffertools\build\Debug\buffertools.node"

Can you delete your node_modules directory and reinstall buffertools without -d?

[OgNellis]

Yes, I have tried to delete the node_modules and to reinstall buffertools but nothing changed.

Can you post the exact error message? Does it still say Debug in the file path?

The error itself suggests buffertools has been compiled wrong, e.g., for the wrong architecture.

When I compile information shows that it is compiled for x32

Am I right to assume that node -p process.arch says 'x64'? If yes, what happens when you pass --arch=x64 to node-gyp?

Okay, then I'm afraid I don't know what the issue is.

have anyone found I a solution to this? I get the same error when in my attempt to use electron with emberJS and zerorpc to communicate with python.
