### Issue
I'm encountering issues with packaging my Electron app using Electron Forge, especially regarding including the `mssql` module. The module works fine in the development environment but fails to load in the packaged version. Additionally, I have tried using the `tedious` package, and I am running into similar issues.
I started creating the app using vite-typescript template.
The errors vary depending on the configuration:
1. **Without marking `mssql` as external in `vite.config.js`:**
In this case, the development version fails to run, giving the following error:
```TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get') at _interopNamespaceDefault```
2. **With marking `mssql` as external in `vite.config.js`:**
The development version works, but when I package the app using Electron Forge, I get the following error when trying to start the app:
```Error: Cannot find module 'mssql'```
I also tried disabling `asar` and `contextIsolation` but that does not help.
How do you get some of these packages running?
### Actual behavior
The app does not run in packaged mode when this packaged are used.
### Steps to reproduce
- Create a project with typescript-vite template
- Add sample page communicating to MSSQL server over Bridge
- Run the app
- Error appears
