Error: The module '\?\C:\wamp64\www\tollgridApp\node_modules@pokusew\pcsclite\build\Release\pcsclite.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 82. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using npm rebuild or npm install).

  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "main.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",

You need to rebuild your application using electron-rebuild package. I had the same problem and it happened because I downgraded to Node 17.9.1.

Open Nodejs command prompt
Go to your location using cd command
Install electron-rebuild: npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
Run this command .\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd
