Failed to activate the highlight-selected package

[SirWaddles]

Whenever I launch Atom, I get the error below.

It looks strangely similar to this completely unrelated error

Atom Version: 1.13.0
Electron Version: 1.3.13
System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Thrown From: highlight-selected package, v0.12.0

After re-installing the package in the Atom interface, I get this error:

This has only been happening since the Atom 1.13 update.

I thought it might have been related to Atom, but I seem to be able to install other packages without issue.

I had to delete the %USERPROFILE%/.atom folder to fix this.

Re-installing Atom, clearing the cache, removing all packages, emptying the config, and every other thing I tried didn't work.

I think it's an issue with Electron, and I have no idea why it was only happening for this package.

I have the same issue when I open this package in dev mode.

In my case, I just ran npm install and it fixed the problem.
