The version used to create the zoomsdk.node file (at [https://github.com/zoom/zoom-winsdk-electron/tree/master/zoom-sdk-electron/lib/node\_modules/zoomsdk/build/Release](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-winsdk-electron/tree/master/zoom-sdk-electron/lib/node_modules/zoomsdk/build/Release)) is quite old (v6.10.3 according to the read me). The LTS of node is 8.10.0 and there’s a 9.8.0 out as well ([https://nodejs.org/en/download/](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)). Can you give us a recompiled sdk with a newer version of node so we don’t need to force our app (and its other dependent node libraries) to use an older version? ---

Has there been any updates to this? I can’t even get the demo to work. PS C:\zoom\_electron\demo\> electron . …/lib/node\_modules/zoomsdk/build/Release/zoomsdk App threw an error during load Error: The module ‘\?\C:\zoom\_electron\lib\node\_modules\zoomsdk\build\Release\zoomsdk.node’ was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE\_MODULE\_VERSION 57.
