Winax crashes when there is no ActiveX component installed in the system. Try catch do not help.

Hi!

Thank you for the useful library.

Unfortunately I am experiencing troubles at runtime when trying to call to
var con = new ActiveXObject('MyRequiredActiveXComponentName');
My Electron application that uses node-activex crashes if MyRequiredActiveXComponentName does not installed on the client computer.
If I install and register the ActiveX component MyRequiredActiveXComponentName - things work well.

I tried to try catch the exception but the error seems to be not a JavaScript exception that I can catch. Catch simply never called. The Node process just crashes.

I am looking for the library update or the workaround. Is there any way to get the information whether the MyRequiredActiveXComponentName installed on that particular machine?

It's very strange, for test run javascript: var test; try { test = new ActiveXObject('la-la-la'); } catch(e) { console.log('Exception: ' + e.message); return; } Result *Exception: CreateInstance: la-la-la Invalid class string* 2017-11-19 1:04 GMT+03:00 nickolayl <notifications@github.com>:
