Issue:
Im not sure if this can be seen as an issue but i am trying to run node-windows with a react app to run it as a service, the first problem i was having was it would refuse to import React with or without it being a module, which i managed to fix by using require, however when trying to do the same thing for the other imports that are giving grief i get this really long error and do not know what to do about it. as well in react to render the html inside it you need to have in the index but node-windows errors when it sees < because its inside index.js despite it being inside a render function which should bypass it, please help, and i found these errors in the errlog after running it
node:internal/errors:496
