Why and how to resolve it ?

We had the same problem in a build using Node 14 and Visual Studio 2017 (MSBuild 15). Builds using Node 16 and Visual Studio 2022 (MSBuild 17) do not seem to be affected.

In our concrete case, we worked around the problem by updating our native dependency to a version that has prebuilt binaries for Electron 18.

Same trouble

• with electron@16 works fine
• with electron@18 rebuild broken

Looks like it works now, dont know what changed, anybody still experience issue?

[kryops]

Might have been fixed by https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/34109

I will try tomorrow and see if I can still reproduce it in my project.

[kryops]

Works again for me too 🚀

I try to electron-rebuild -v 18.0.0 -f -w better-sqlite3 with VS2017, But it throw some c++ compile error.

But it is work in VS2019, so I guess it maybe relate with VS version
