Research direction

Start by reproducing the installer build that packages CommercialTribe-Companion.nuspec and inspect the failure reported through lib\spawn-promise.js:62. Check the packaged ffmpeg.exe path and determine the cause of the “Unable to create the store directory” error; done means the cause and a reproducible fix or documented requirement are established.
