I'm trying to use this library inside an electron application that will use vue for the front-end. after I've installed it using the flag to specify the electron version npm i ibm_db -electron="13.0.0" when I try to call it from the main.js file of the app I will always get this error when the app start

In my system I've already configured all the needed drivers from ibm and I'va also installed the latest ibm drivers for db2. 
I'm running electron 13.0.0 on windows 11 machine and my node version is 16.0.0 for this project but globally I have the node version 18.12.1 installed. 

I've laso tried to set the IBM_DB_HOME globally on my system and it's set to the folder where the driver are installed, but the problem still remain. How I can make the library work correctly to connect with my on premise db2 instance?

@orizzontiholding Would you be able to use the newer version of electron? If you install ibm_db using npm i ibm_db -electron="18.0.0", there should not be any error. We have added prebuild windows binary for electron 18 to 24 only. Thanks.

At the moment the "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "^2.1.1" will install electron 13, not sure if I can update it with the latest version. I'm having also trouble if I use node 18 that is installed in my system, for this project I'm running node 16 that is instelled as a dependency of the electron app. I need to investigate a bit about electron update

@orizzontiholding If you can't update electron version, then you need to install older version of ibm_db. Please install ibm_db using command npm i ibm_db@2.8.2 -electron="13.0.0" and it should work fine. Thanks.

@bimalkjha Hi! We can consider the issue soilved, after I've updated electron builder to latest version and electron the library worked correctly and as is mentioned in another issue, the problem I'm having now is only for the licence. We are on an ibm i series db2 instance so I will try to find a solution to connect with the system. Thank you for the help
