Yes, it is the latest version but still not working.

try searching for .npmrc files on your computer.

I also did it and tried to add them manually through notepad. I save it and when I reopen it changes are not done.

Same issue with node 18.16.0. I installed node 17.9.1 with nvm, and npm config set command works now. Still figuring out what was the actual issue.

Here are my errors. I did all your recommendations though. Thanks for your support.

Enter the Visual Studio Installer and make sure you have C++ Desktop development installed.
Save the following path in Windows environment variables.

variable name: VCINSTALLDIR variable: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC

I don’t know why npm is not registered your config settings, unfortunately, you can search for ‘npm config edit not saving’ on google.

In new versions of npm the below command doesn’t work anymore so I don’t know if it’s correct I entered the config file and added it.

All of are not working on npm 9.6.2

npm config set msvs-version=2022 npm config set msvs-version 2022 npm config set msvs_version=2022 npm config set msvs_version 2022

npm gives that error when I set. npm ERR! msvs-version is not a valid npm option

I added both parameters by typing npm config edit, now I’m waiting for the results. --> yarn install --loglevel silly

Can you please set both msvs-version and msvs_version to the same value? #2644

cclauss on Mar 18, 2023

“npm config get msvs_version” returns “2022”.

% npm config list -l | grep msvs # Returns zero hits.

I had the same issue with @electron I solved the problem by setting env variable GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2022
