so i have a script that will run a power shell command, the main issue is that when i share this with other people it doesn't work but when i run it on my pc it does work.

 fs.mkdirSync(response.filePaths[0] + "\\Workroom");
    fs.writeFileSync(response.filePaths[0] + "\\Workroom\\bot.js", "");
    fs.mkdirSync(response.filePaths[0] + "\\Workroom\\node_modules");
    require('winax');
    var run=new ActiveXObject('WSCRIPT.Shell').Run("npm install --prefix "+response.filePaths[0]+"\\Workroom"+" discord.js", 0);
    fs.writeFileSync("./path.txt", response.filePaths[0]);

I don't see any PowerShell in the sample code. `WSCRIPT.Shell` is not PowerShell. – zett42 Jan 23 '21 at 11:48
ok i will try thanks – TempAcc Jan 23 '21 at 11:48
Is there any error message? If there isn't, try to get log files of Electron. Otherwise it will be hard to reason about the problem. – zett42 Jan 23 '21 at 11:51
Oops i forgot to delete the question the problem wasnt about this – TempAcc Jan 23 '21 at 21:34
When running it it says npm err code enoent – TempAcc Jan 23 '21 at 21:34
It means "file not found". Maybe this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/q/43260643/7571258 – zett42 Jan 23 '21 at 23:11
