I am currently working on an Electron-App using NPM that unzips a file to a selected directory. An Installer basically. Now when I build the application it still works fine. I simply start the setup.exe in my win-unpacked folder and everything goes down smoothly. Now when I move the win-unpacked folder to a different directory my app runs fine but when it starts the unzipping process it throws the following error:

I have noticed, that the first file-path displayed (for some reason) doesnt use utf8, but all the others are being displayed correctly (should be an ä). Also I have allready tried deleting the node_modules folder and then running npm i to reinstall them. Still having the same issue.

The following is the code that starts the unzipping process:

const path = require('path');
const ipcRenderer = require('electron').ipcRenderer;
const Unzip = require('./unzip');
const os = require('os');
const fs = require('fs');

$('#information_next').click(function () {
   var extractPath = $('#input_select').val();
   let filepath;
   const platform = os.platform();
   const nodeName = platform == 'win32' ? 'wcd.node' : (platform == 'darwin' ? 'mcd.node' : 'lcd.node');
   let customData = require("bindings")(nodeName);
   let zip = h2a(customData.customData());
   if(os.platform() == 'darwin') {
      filepath = path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', '..', '..', 'ZIP.zip');
   } else {
      filepath = path.join(__dirname, '..', '..', 'ZIP.zip');
   }
   var xPath = path.join.apply(null, extractPath.split('\\'));
   var unzip = new Unzip(filepath, xPath.toString());
   unzip.extract(extractPath, zip, 100, (percentage) => {

      // Code for Progressbar

      finish = true;
      setTimeout(function () {
         $('.main_wrapper').addClass('hidden');
         $('.main7').removeClass('hidden');
      }, 1500);
   }).catch((e) => {
      $('.main6').addClass('hidden');
      $('.main_install_error').prop('hidden', false);
   });
});

Here I am using the bindings module to require a .node file which passes a string to my app. And this seems to be the module that causes the Error.

I have been trying to resolve this for hours now, but nothing I've found online works. Also I couldn't find anyone who had the same Error that I have. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

EDIT:

I might have just figured out the main problem. The bindings module contains a function that looks for the module root. This path is displayed in the first line of the ERROR. However since this app has allready been built, all the source code is inside of an app.asar file. Bindings can't seem to distinguish between the .asar file and an ordinary folder. So even tho the path is correct, it doesn't work. The reason why it worked in the original win-unpacked is because bindings (if it cant find the module-root) moves up througth the directory until it finds the root. And since the original win-unpacked folder is inside my project directory bindings uses the un-built module-root.
