Fixing LanceDB Error on Windows
Fixing LanceDB Uncaught Execption on Windows
If you're on Windows and do not have C++ installed you may experience an error when opening Reor for the first time:
Error: vectordb: failed to load native library.
You may need to run `npm install @lancedb/vectordb-win32-x64-msvc`.
If that does not work, please file a bug report at https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues
Source error: Error: The specified module could not be found.

at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1271:14)This is happening because LanceDB requires some C++ libraries to be installed on your system. To fix, please download and run the following: MSVS C++ redist.
Alternatively, you can install the same libraries by installing the Visual Studio Build Tools. (This is a slightly larger install the MSVS).
