Question

Trying to make Hello World native module for node.js

Got an Win32 Project in VS 2012 with one file:

#include 

        

Answer 1

Just had the same problem and even though the architectures of my node and addon were identical, I got similar errors messages. It turns out that you can't rename the node executable. It has to be node.exe, I was trying to test multiple versions at the same time so I had to put them in their own folders. After that it all worked fine.
