Failed to load plugin zotlib with an error for better-sqlite3

[Bolivia-me]

Obsidian version: 1.5.12 ZotLit version: 1.1.5

After I installed ZotLit, the "Setup Zotlib" dialogue window show " better-sqlite3 seems to be broken and failed to load. you can try to use one the method below to reinstall it". Then, I downloaded .node.gz file from GitHub and selected the uncompressed "better-sqlite3.node" file to install. Finally, when I want to reload Zotlit, a windows appears, showing that "Failed to load database library: Error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. \?
\C:\Administraator\AppData\Roaming\obsidian\better-sqlite3-8.0.1-mod.1.node"

What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks very much.

On macOS and Obsidian 1.5.12 I am not seeing the sqlite error, but the plugin is failing to load again.

This problem has been solved by following steps: (1) Disable all community plugins; (2) Install Zotlit from the community; (3) Install better-sqlite3 automatically or manually; (4) Set the options of Zotlit correctly, especially the "zotero data directory" option correctly. (5) Test the functions of Zotlit to check whether it works. (6) Enable those disabled community plugins.

This worked for me
