I encountered this issue when using the "sqlstring" npm package.

I resolved my issue by using the exact name of the module "sqlstring" instead of "sqlString"

It would seem that from my perspective the error shown is misleading.

I have had to revert to Visual Studio 15.6.7 to be able to continue debugging Node projects! Used links on

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/installing-an-earlier-release-of-vs2017 to find the earlier version.
