Why does npm swear at some files when installing a library?

Question

Node.js

Following the instructions , I'm trying to install Electron and then connect React to it, but when executing

npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/preset-react babel-loader

such an error appears

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile 'vendor/7z-ia32.exe' -> 'vendor/7z.exe'
    at Object.copyFileSync (fs.js:2059:3)
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:\work\services\mix-chat-react\node_modules\electron-winstaller\script\select-7z-arch.js:14:8)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1068:30)

    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47 {
  errno: -4058,
  syscall: 'copyfile',
  code: 'ENOENT',
  path: 'vendor/7z-ia32.exe',
  dest: 'vendor/7z.exe'
}

How is this solved?
