Is this running on Windows directly or on Docker?

Windows directly

My pc was stolen few days ago, so I decided to borrow a friend's pc to complete what I was working on. I only installed node, vscode and git. I'm not sure if I'm meant to install anything else.

I know you already tried #5597 (comment), and that it didn't help. There is another issue #6508 about the same error, but that also does not include very concrete steps to a solution.

Fundamentally the exit code means that something is missing on your system, but unfortunately it does not get more concrete about what is missing and how to fix it. Prisma does generally have not further dependencies.

If you google for the number, you will find answers mentioning that installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 might help, but that sounds like a very long shot to me.

I have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed already and even repaired it but still no luck.

For now, I'll use the online vscode. Thanks

I have been able to solve the problem. I uninstalled node and reinstalled it with this option this time.

[janpio]

Nice, thanks for keeping us updated.

Installing Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable solved here.
