Problem

After building eDEX-UI (npm run install-windows) I am not able to run it using npm start. Log:

As you can see, the module whereis can not find powershell.exe. Obviously, powershell.exe is installed on my system and can be found on the system:

>where powershell.exe
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Recommendation:

This seems to be an issue with the whereis module. Could you switch to the which module?

_Please ask me if you need further details. Thanks a lot!_

I made the switch to which, as you suggested.
I don't keep scores (maybe I should), but kudos for writing the best report I've seen in months.
