Hi @fencesitter1. I'm not on Windows, but it looks like the trouble you're receiving is from a dependent package, libvips. You need to make sure those binaries are available to compile sharp. Here's a guide that should walk you through the process and get you up and running.

I face this problem too, it took me so much time to solve it, but it still didn't work, so sad!

hello @JarvisChan666 @fencesitter1
i faced this problem too. you need to restart the project using the pnpm. that's the only way payload works.

how did i find out? i wanted to create an issue on the payload repository and in the contributing.md i found the disclaimer that rhe project would only work with pnpm and it would fail with npm and yarn. you can also check it out on the payload repo.

it's an information that should be available on the readme...
