Installing for nw.js - "A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed." #749

I'm trying to use robotjs in a nw.js project. I've run

npm install robotjs

but when I require robotjs in my app (var robotjs = require("robotjs")) I get a DLL initialization error.

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1365 Uncaught Error: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.
