canvas.node is not a valid Win32 application.

[ShootDot]

Issue or Feature

Everytime when I install canvas I get the error canvas.node is not a valid Win32 application.

[zbjornson]

This usually means you have mismatched node-canvas and Node.js architectures (32 vs. 64 bit).

Can you please post:

# in your shell
node -p "process.arch"

and

// save in a file and run with node
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const cnode = path.join(require.resolve("canvas"), "../build/Release/canvas.node");
const fd = fs.openSync(cnode);
const b = Buffer.alloc(4);
fs.readSync(fd, b, 0, 4, 60);
const pe_addr = b.readUInt32LE(0);
fs.readSync(fd, b, 0, 2, pe_addr + 4);
const type = b.readUInt16LE(0);
console.log(type.toString(16));

That will print one of the values here, which should be 8664 (64-bit) or 14c (32-bit).

(See also #1533, #1370.)

`const cnode = path.join(require.resolve("canvas"), "../build/Release/canvas.node");
^

ReferenceError: path is not defined`

@Aman78600 sorry, I missed a line. I edited my previous comment, can you try it again please?

[ShootDot]

I got 8664
Now what should I do ?
@zbjornson

[zbjornson]

Can you post node -p "process.arch" too please?

[ShootDot]

@zbjornson Please Help

[zbjornson]

Can you provide the info that was in the issue template please? (OS, Node.js version, Canvas version) Trying to run on WinXP is another possible cause. You can drop canvas.node into dependency walker to hopefully get a more useful error. This is tricky to troubleshoot.

[ShootDot]

I figured Out it
I install Node Module Version 72 And reinstalled canvas by using the command npm i canvas and it does not show error anymore
Thanks for your help

I also get this problem.

? Error: \\?\C:\Users\defau\Desktop\test2\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.node is not a valid Win32 application.
? \\?\C:\Users\defau\Desktop\test2\node_modules\canvas\build\Release\canvas.node

Here is the information that you want.

node -p "process.arch"
x64

Windows 10 x64
Node.js v12.16.1
Canvas v2.6.1

@ShootDot I have installed Node Module Version 72 ( v12.18.4)
and I got 8664
and my Node is x64
but I still have an issue as like you. how did u fix this issue?

[zbjornson]

Closing because there's not enough info to troubleshoot. Please open a new issue if anyone is still having problems.
