Hi everybody,

When I want to start simple Electron application I'm getting the following error:

Invoke electron.cmd - in dir: \...\obj\Host\node_modules\.bin
Unhandled exception. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (The directory name is invalid.)
 ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (267): The directory name is invalid.

   at ElectronNET.CLI.Program.Main(String[] args) in D:\Code\GitHub\Electron.NET\ElectronNET.CLI\Program.cs:line 59

What would be a reason? Why the Electron pointing at location which does not exist like: D:\Code\GitHub\Electron.NET\ElectronNET.CLI\Commands\StartElectronCommand.cs

Might be that you don't have npm installed? I had this issue as well before noticing I didn't have npm installed.

I'm also having this issue, and I do have npm installed. Interestingly, if I run "electronize start" from the project directory, it works, however using the Visual Studio debug option does not. I'm wondering if the working directory is incorrect for the Visual Studio menu item by default?

The Visual Studio debug option is unfortunately a prototype.

I am having the exact same issue here, with ElectronNET.CLI Version: 8.31.1.0, even if I run the electronize start from command line.
Looks like it is not related to the debug options.
