embedtest Cannot find module

[f4ll3nfr0msk1]

Details

I compiled node.js from source code with vcbuild.bat on windows os. no problem. then i tried to compile with visual studio 2022. no problem. I tried to run the release version of Embedtest from the Visual Studio 2022 compilation, following the comments instructions in the embedtest.cc file.
// Format of the arguments of this binary:
// Building snapshot:
// embedtest js_code_to_eval arg1 arg2...
// --embedder-snapshot-blob blob-path
// --embedder-snapshot-create
// [--embedder-snapshot-as-file]
// [--without-code-cache]
// Running snapshot:
// embedtest --embedder-snapshot-blob blob-path
// [--embedder-snapshot-as-file]
// arg1 arg2...
// Snapshot number:
// embedtest arg1 arg2...
always fails with error: Cannot find module

(node:14624) Warning: It's not yet fully verified whether built-in module "vm" works in user snapshot builder scripts.
It may still work in some cases, but in other cases certain run-time states may be out-of-sync after snapshot deserialization.
