I’ve seen this issue a dozen times before with people having Visual Studio installed on their Windows PC.

(not sure if this on is needed aswell - but I’ll throw it in here: npm install -g node-gyp )

But you sure need to do this:

You should execute this npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Install this http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools
and generate an empty C++ project in visual studio - doing this installs some libraries which fixes the error lol 😄
