Error: Nodejs keytar.node is not a valid Win32 application

I packaged my cli application using pkg and it is working fine on macOS but not running on windows and complaining about keytar.node binary. I am using the same keytar.node which i installed on development machine(macOS) to run on windows as well. I am wondering if it is throwing an error because of native node binary being compiled on different os? if that is the case is there any way to use keytar.node cross platform without compiling it on individual os?

Error: //?/C:/Users/alias/bin/keytar.node is not a valid Win32 application.

//?/C:/Users/alias/bin/keytar.node

at Module.require (pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1229:31)

at Object.<anonymous> (C:/snapshot/pcas-cli/node_modules/keytar/lib/keytar.js:1:76)

at Module._compile (pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1324:22)

Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using electron-builder, make sure to run npx electron-builder install-app-deps --platform=win32 --arch=x64 after npm install to get the prebuilt Keytar binary for Windows.
