Things I’ve tried to no avail
- Reinstall VS 2017 with
Desktop Development Kit for C++ - Reinstall node and npm
- Run the same command in Admin CMD, Admin PowerShell, Admin VC2017 Dev Command Prompt
- Manually set VCINSTALLDIR environment variable to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\ - Run
npm config set msvs_version 2017 --global, thennpm config get msvs_versiongives me 2017 - Restart PC every step of the way
I got the same errors as above every step of the way.
Please help!

Deleting the package-lock.json file resolved the problem for me.
As far as I can tell, no
node_modules/_package_/bin/*files were being downloaded. I’m not sure why this solved it for me, but there you go.I also had similar issues recently and what helped me to locate the issue was running the npm command with
--loglevel sillyadded, this gives you a whole lot more info printed out.My issue was that there were some outdated (non-existing) paths in my LIB environment variable and that made node-gyp fail.
Just follow the instructions at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows like the error output suggests For me, setting
npm config set msvs_version 2017was the missing pieceWORKED FOR ME AFTER TRYING EVERYTHING! Just had to delete the
package-lock.jsonfileCame across exact same issue when trying to install

Indeed, this appears to be a cross-platform issue and regenerating
package-lock.jsondid the trick.I have two machines, one running Ubuntu the other Windows. The former generated that file and I didn’t encounter any issue. However when I tried installing the modules on the latter, that’s when the issue occurred. Do not install
windows-build-toolsas it is not only heavy but deprecated (and not needed).
