I think you may need to install this C++ redistributable package. The error is complaining about something related to NodeRT, which is a native windows module.

Oh my, it didn't even take longer than a day after switching out of Linux for me to encounter things like this, thanks for the tip!

For feature reference, the following link ended up fixing the issue, it seems like 2015 by itself doesn't work. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
