The error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libeay32.lib'

Check ursa's documentation, it looks like you need to install openssl separately.

I'll close this out, not a node-gyp issue.

[maddymaster]

installing openssl separately does not resolve this issue.
