Error: Cannot find module 'electron-squirrel-startup'

Question

I'm trying to manage the setup events of my electron app made using squirrel. As suggested by the documentation, I'm trying to use squirrel startup on my main.js, but when I run the setup.exe i get this error "Error: Cannot find module 'electron-squirrel-startup'".

I've added the module as a dependency (not dev dependency) in my package.json.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

I tried deleting the node_modules folder and running npm install again
