[Windows] missing 'tfjs_binding.node' module error

[Aircoholic]

I've written about this issue in the other open Windows-Issue, but maybe my problem was too unrelated or something, so after getting no reply, I thought maybe a new threat would have a better chance to be seen.

What I've tried so far:

making sure npm is installed correctly, which seems to be not quite so trivial on windows. No success.

My laptop just go a fresh new Windows 10 install (let's just say it was about time...), now I'm running: Windows 10 Home 21H2 (Build 19044), Ableton Live 10.1.42 and Max 8.1.11

Again, checking that npm is running correctly.

Then, in Max (or Max4live), loading up RhythmVAE, pressing "script npm install" gives a green light in the node.script debug tool.

When I press "script start", first it tells me, everything is running smooth for 2-3 seconds, before I get the error message below.

The reported module is indeed missing from the named folder.

I've downloaded the tfjs-repo and did run 'npm rebuild @tensorflow/tfjs-node build-addon-from-source' as the error message suggested.

The tfjs_binding.node module is back in the right location now. In Max, when I press "script npm install" I get the green confirmation in the debug tool, but when I press "script start", I get the following error message, despite the apparently missing module is now in the right location.

I give up! I want to use your pluging really bad, because it would help me immensely with my work on another project and would give it some amazing new twist, but I don't even know where to look for solutions to this anymore. Plus, I've now spend a not insgnificant amount of time on this and thus far, it was not worth it, so I just have to stop my attempts to solve this problem.
I'm no programmer (just a musician aspiring to be a sound artist) and have no experience with MachineLearning etc. so I'm way outside my paygrade already. I'm not even sure if I'm looking in the right places, because I don't understand enough of the whole matter to get an idea what could cause such an issue. Maybe it's something super trivial that I overlooked or some small step I didn't see or do. Any help solving this issue would still be greatly appreciated, since your plugin is one of the most exciting I've seen in years and I would love to use it.
