Node.bcrypt.js: Error to execute `npm install bcrypt` with NodeJS 4.0.0 in Windows 10

[jferrettiboke]

When I install bcrypt from the Windows terminal I can get this error:

c:\xampp\htdocs\project\node_modules\bcrypt\build\bcrypt_lib.vcxproj(19,3): error MSB4019: No se encuentra el proyecto importado "c:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props". Asegúrese de que la ruta de acceso de la declaración <Import> es correcta y de que el archivo se encuentra en el disco.

Any solution to solve this problem?

Thanks!

I solved this error just writing in the terminal the next commando: $ npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global, where msvs_version is the Visual Studio version that you computer is using.

Before to execute this command, be sure to delete the node_modules folder from the project.

PS: If you continue getting errors, try to replace bcrypt to bcryptjs in your package.json. For that, write in the terminal $ npm uninstall bcrypt --save and then $ npm install bcryptjs --save, delete node_modules folder and execute the command in the terminal.

I gave up, just install bcrypt-nodejs :)
