Module doesn't work on Windows with io.js v2.0.x

[v12]

Hello there,

I'm experiencing an issue with sqlite3 module usage on Windows 8.1 x64 machine, though everything is absolutely fine with similar setup on Linux.

npm i sqlite3 output - gist

As you can see, installation via npm went fine, however, when I try to use the module in the code, I get the following error:

module.js:356
  Module._extensions[extension](this, filename);
                               ^
Error: Module did not self-register.
    at Error (native)
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)
    at require (module.js:385:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Dev\projects\sqlite3-test\node_modules\sqlite3\lib\sqlite3.js:4:15)
    at Module._compile (module.js:431:26)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12)

io.js versions tested: v2.0.0 and v2.0.1
sqlite3 version is v3.0.8

Let me know if you require any additional information.

Thanks for the report. Just seeing this now. Two problems:

1. Ideally a source compile should not be needed. Turns out I made a mistake in packaging and the binary is missing. Going to work on that in missing node-v44 binary for windows #469
2. ^^ the binary might be missing because of the problem you are hitting Module did not self-register. Will need some time to recall what might cause this.

nodejs/node#751 looks like it was a mis-configuration and is not a bug/the cause of this conclusively. However nodejs/node#751 might be involved.

Anyone hitting this should be able to workaround it by using node v0.10.x or v0.12.x.

Downgrading is not an option for me, what else can you suggest for using this library?

Please try with the latest version - v5.0.3 🙂
