node.bcrypt.js: npm install bcrypt fails on Windows 7 with node.js 64bit

I have bcrypt 0.7.1 building on two computers running windows 7 now.

The following setup WORKS: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit service pack 1 Python 2.7.3 64bit (python-2.7.3.amd64.msi) VC 2008 redistributables 32 bit (vcredist_x86.exe) Visual studio 2010 c# and c++ environments installed Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1c.exe Node.js 0.8.5 or 0.8.6 32bit

The following setup does NOT WORK: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit service pack 1 Python 2.7.3 64bit (python-2.7.3.amd64.msi) VC 2008 redistributables 32 bit (vcredist_x86.exe) Visual studio 2010 c# and c++ environments installed Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1c.exe Node.js 0.8.5, 0.8.6 64bit

When building with 64 bit node.js version 0.8.6 I get the following linker errors

You can install 2 versions of node.js both the 32 bit and 64bit and change the path that points to which version of node.js you want to test both architectures. I had both 64 and 32 bit node.js installed and when i changed my path to point to: c:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs instead of c:\Program Files\nodejs

It built no problem.
