It looks like the project is still building because even the VS interface shows a progress bar in the status bar at the bottom. The first time, it will take quite a while until all electron binaries are downloaded. Maybe try building the server application on its own before running the entire thing.

I agree with @AeonSake . I tried it and there was no problem. In general the installed build-tooling etc. should not matter, but you need to wait until Electron is fully downloaded.

Unfortunately, your bug report misses a couple of relevant details. What version of npm and Node.js are you using?
