I went to fresh everything because of different problems I was having that could be attributed to our IT Dept.

node.js has a hole in the firewall.

Any suggestions?

I wasn’t finding anything on that error code because I mistyped it originally.

On other forums I was told that error means “dll not found.”

It rises up out of the C++ Redistributable, which I installed.

“bare” now works.
