SEA compiled on Windows doesn't work (the same situation as Issue #1104). Updated: and pkg too

[ds315]

Hi,

Single Executable Application compiled on Windows doesn't work like Issue #1104
It's crashes on dlopen()

NodeJS 24.2.0
uWebSockets 20.52.0

server.js:

const { dlopen } = require('node:process');
const lib = {exports: {}};

console.log('loading uws ...');
dlopen(lib, 'node_modules/uWebSockets.js/uws_win32_x64_137.node');
console.log('uws loaded');

lib.exports.App()
.get('/*', res => res.end('Hi'))
.listen(3000, token => console.log(token ? 'Listening' : 'Failed to listen', 'to port 3000'));

node server.js - work OK

after building - doesn't start, only 'loading uws ...'

sea.json:

{
	"main": "server.js",
	"output": "sea.blob",
	"assets": {
		"uws_win32_x64_137.node": "node_modules/uWebSockets.js/uws_win32_x64_137.node"
	}
}

It would be good to uWS can work with SEA on Windows

PS: native module bcrypt works OK

tried to use pkg

after building -> run server.exe -> message 'loading uws ...' -> Error: Module did not self-register: 'node_modules/uWebSockets.js/uws_win32_x64_137.node'.

May be it some helps

PS: bcrypt - OK

What is the actual use of SEA? Is there a commercial app that must be SEA and cannot just be installed?

I'm asking to gauge the actual commercial value of this feature.
