Description

Hello,

My issue is the following:

https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html for the step 6 I tried the command npx postject node.exe NODE_SEA_BLOB sea-prep.blob --sentinel-fuse NODE_SEA_FUSE_fce680ab2cc467b6e072b8b5df1996b2 but got the following output:

When the signature not removed

Start injection of NODE_SEA_BLOB in node.exe...
warning: The signature seems corrupted!
Error: Couldn't write executable

When the signature is removed:

Start injection of NODE_SEA_BLOB in node.exe...
Error: Couldn't write executable

Do you have any idea what I could've had gone wrong ?

Best Regards.
