npm install fail on windows 10

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I got some error during install bleno and I found that might be some issue about installing usb module.

lenovo-PC:bleno$ npm install usb

> usb@1.1.1 install C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\node\bleno\node_modules\usb
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
