• In my case, the problem was that the working directory of the shortcut file that I run node from was the node directory. I removed it so that Windows uses the current directory as the working directory and that fixed it. – Synetech Commented May 14, 2018 at 2:00

you have to install node modules first.

cd C:\Program Files\nodejs\
npm install
node file.js
