Description
I used node-pre-gyp to deploy c++ node addon, when I'm installing the binaries I got a dlopen error :
$ node test.js
module.js:681
return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
^
Error: \\?\C:\Users\Lhousaine\Desktop\nodeAddons\test\node_modules\wakanda-stora
ge\bin\wakanda_storage.node nest pas une application Win32 valide.

any suggestion about the source of this problem
I can now figure out that npm install come with a linux version of the module then when passing --update-binary it find the correct one. but still don't understand why npm install cannot find windows and mac version by default

Research direction
Reproduce the installation with npm install and --update-binary on the Windows setup described, then inspect the installed package's lib/index.js and the selected binary path. Done means npm install selects a valid Windows or macOS binary without --update-binary and node test.js loads it successfully.
