A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

[Rehoni]

When i using zerorpc in my electron app, it throws an Exception:

"Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.\\?\f:GithubDIPelectronUI\node_moduleszmq\buildReleasezmq.node    
at process.module.(anonymous function) [as dlopen] (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:172:20)

My computer path, (and i'm using vscode to develop and debug my electron apps): node@v8.11.2 npm@v5.6.0 electron@v2.0.2 python@3.6.4 windows@10 Enterprise visual studio@2017

I think the reason may be this.

There throws a lot of warning about the process of node-gyp compiling the ZeroMQ lib, and i guess if i solved these warnings, the DDL Error would be solved also?

And i'll appreciate if there got another solution for this DDL Error! (:з)∠)

Reason： node\_modules\\zerorpc\\node\_modules\\zeromq\\lib\\index.js

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
  , zmq = require('../build/Release/zmq.node')
  , util = require('util');

this line:

zmq = require('../build/Release/zmq.node')

support: Linux/Mac not support: Win

Solution: Change node\_modules\\zerorpc\\node\_modules\\zeromq\\lib\\index.js from

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter
  , zmq = require('../build/Release/zmq.node')
  , util = require('util');

to:

var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter

let path = require('path')
let zmqNodePath = path.join("..", "build", "Release", "zmq.node")
var zmq = require(zmqNodePath)

var util = require('util')

can support Linux/Mac/Win, and could find the zmq.node dll lib file.
