Since PHPrunner 10.0 and installing a new build may , throw error. Node.js error code 5 , means - node.js is still running in the background ( This is from an already opened node.js connection which is not sleeping ) .
Node.js is supposed to sleep upon close of a project or an API using it / or connection using node.js, but from my experience it does not always close and run's in the background at times. ( I don't believe this entirely is from PHPrunner application but may also be from another application that was recently used node.js)

like you were designing a mobile application in another API ex......related applications that use node.js. Applies to Windows 7 and 8.1 tested. Not tested in windows 10 pro or home.
if you are running PHPrunner on or using a VPS or Dedicated Server and node.js is running automatically then do not use this tip as there is a reason that it is running that may not be related to PHPrunner
Different Solutions if error occurs upon installing new builds :

  1. Re-start windows if local ( safest way ) // Then Re-install new build
  2. Close and save PHPrunner Project / or Any other Projects that are suspected of using node.js // Then Re-install build ( may not work if node.js is not sleeping )
  3. Close and save all programs or API's using node.js and enter task manager ( right click on task bar - click task manager and end task on node.js )
  4. If you were using CLI recently - CTRL + C may or may not close it.
    Now click on newly installed zip / build and install . Should install completely with no error.
