Were you able to resolve this. I have the same issue?

Yes.
i install esbuild (npm i esbuild)
but not only in strapi app folder.
i installed esbuild package in %app_data% local/npm_cache folder as well as error stack shows.

You installed esbuild not only in the Strapi app folder but also in the %appdata%/local/npm_cache folder, as indicated by the error stack. Try cleaning the npm cache and ensuring esbuild is installed in the correct project directory.
