Describe the problem

Was told to move this here despite the launcher not causing this error.

Got an error after updating an older vers of sillytavern, decided to uninstall then reinstall it, after the fresh reinstall I've been trying to launch silly tavern through the launcher and keep getting an error regarding Node_modules? It changes whenever I try launching it, I've removed the Node_modules folder through the launcher a few times and still get this error often, I have no idea why this is happening or if someone else has had this issue as I dont know exactly where to look here or in the Doc. If you guys need more information Ill happily share it, however youll probably have to guide me though to getting that info as Im not that bright.

Additional info

@The-HOLLOW-Idiot Try to following method at the home menu of launcher:

then
Remove node_modules folder

then you launch sillytavern with:

Update & Start SillyTavern
