node-gyp build error windows x64

Question

Here\'s what I\'ve done so far on my x64 OS:

• Installed Python (v2.7 --specifically 2.7.6) and added it to the system path (C:\\Python27)
• Installed MS

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. I found that this switch helped me

--msvs_version=2012

so for example

npm install --msvs_version=2012
