How to run exe file from node.js script? - node.js

Question

I have an exe and I want to run it from node.js, and pass an argument, except that it doesn't work..
var exec = require('child_process').execFile;
const fs = require('fs');
try {
if (fs.existsSync("./program/bin/Release/program.exe")) {
console.log("Exists")
} else {
console.log("Not Exists")
}
} catch(err) {
console.log(err)
}
setTimeout(function() {
exec('./program/bin/Release/program.exe manual', function(err, data) {
console.log(err)
console.log(data.toString());
});
}, 0);
It definitely exists as it prints exists, and I can run it from a cmd prompt giving manual as an argument. But through node.js it is not working. It comes back with
Error: spawn ./program/bin/Release/program.exe manual ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:264:19)
at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:456:16)
at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21) {
errno: 'ENOENT',
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn ./program/bin/Release/program.exe manual',
path: './program/bin/Release/program.exe manual',
spawnargs: [],
cmd: './program/bin/Release/program.exe manual'
}
Does anyone know?
Thanks

Arguments should be passed as an array of strings as the second argument, like so:
exec('./program/bin/Release/program.exe', ['manual'], function(err, data) {
console.log(err)
console.log(data.toString());
});
