Is there something wrong with my use? Thanks

Hi! It seems that path to node_modules is incorrect - missing slash netween node_modules and @sentry.

‘C:\workspace\demo\node_modules@sentry\cli’

Do you have similar problems while install other packages?

[nikojxie]

no，It is correct when installing other packages, like @sentry/tracing and @sentry/vue

Strange, i will try to test this behavior on windows by myself in next couple of days, maybe there is a some windows specific bug with sentry cli. Which node version you use?

[nikojxie]

i think so too, my node version is 16.13.0, thanks for your help

Hi @nikojxie !

I've found solution for this issue, it comes from sentry-cli tool which is used to interact with sentry. This binary requires vc redist package to be installed, so you need to install Microsoft VC Redistributable before trying to use this plugin.

You can download MS Redist installation package on Microsoft website - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
