[bug] frida.InvalidArgumentError: malformed package

[fastpacedsociety]

Followed instructions from here and here

Using latest npm and node version.

I only get this error with the development installation.

Edit: I only encounter this error on Windows. Works on latest Ubuntu version.

I have not been able to replicated this unfortunately. Please check if you can use an agent.js generated using linux in the windows install. Also check frida-compile version

indeed this shows up on windows. replacing the agent.js with one generated on linux did fix it.
