[WinError 5] When attempting to use Electron

[cutethingg]

I'm attempting to open the electron browser through Eel in Python 3.9.0. I'm using an administrator command prompt to run the python scrips, so I'm not sure why I'm still being denied access.

Here's my Python script:

import eel
eel.init('web')

eel.start('index.html', size=(800, 600), block=False, mode='custom', cmdline_args=[r'C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs\root\nexit\web\node_modules\electron', '.'])

while True:
    eel.sleep(10)

This script works fine with the 'edge' or 'chrome-app' mode and without the commandline args, though I'm sure the command line path is correct. Here's my error:

Winerror 5 is caused by attempting to access a directory as a file. This is not an issue with Eel.
