I forgot to post this update. The Chilkat lib for Node.js 12 is available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@chilkat/ck-node12-win64

You need to rebuild the binary.

Try the following:

npm rebuild @chilkat/ck-node11-win64 --update-binary

Answer 3

Look here at the history of NODE_MODULE_VERSION numbers paired with Node.js version numbers: https://nodejs.org/de/download/releases/

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67 is equivalent to Node.js 11.* The Chilkat module @chilkat\ck-node11-win64 is correctly built with NODE_MODULE_VERSION 67.

However, the version of Node.js you are currently using must not be Node.js 11, because the error message says "This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 72". You must be using Node.js 12.. Chilkat will be releasing for Node.js 12. this coming week.
