You need the CMD prompt set for your node-red folder (not windows\system32)

When you start node-red, the terminal output tells you where that is.

I think you need to revert back to node V14 or node v12 for sqlite to work.

Also, you would be better off using [node-red-node-sqlite - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-node-sqlite) as that is maintained.

### PS please post logs and terminal output as text in a code block (pictures are not searchable and hard to read)

that node you are trying to install installs drivers for sqlite!!!  
and it is failing due to you having node v15 installed!!!

There is no such thing as "SQL". There is mySql, SQL Server, PostGres, etc, etc,

Which type database are you trying to access?

the recommended node for SQL Server is [node-red-contrib-mssql-plus (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mssql-plus)

↑ that works with node V12 and node v14 (untested with node v15)
