I'm trying to build an electron based app using native libraries and ref. Everything works fine on linux and mac but on windows i'm getting this error and i have no clue how to solve this.

C:\Users\simon\Desktop\win-unpacked\win-unpacked\resources\app\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:83
        throw e

Since you mention Electron, please make sure you're following the instructions here since ref is a native module: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md
