Node-gyp: Can't build with VS2017, error MSB8020 can't find v140 toolset (the installed one is v141)

[NijiharaTsubasa]

• Node Version: 10.5.0
• Platform: Microsoft Windows 10 专业版 Insider Preview 10.0.17692 暂缺 Build 17692
• Compiler: 15.5.180.51428
• Module: sqlite3

Can't build with VS2017, error message saying it's using v140 toolset which is not installed
but afaik VS2017 should use the v141 toolset!

Verbose output (from npm or node-gyp):

I am getting the same issue (also while trying to install better-sqlite3).

[npk48]

the problem is caused by forcing toolset to 140 in
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\nw-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp\MSVSVersion.py
line 228-246

change them to

versions = {
'2015e': VisualStudioVersion('2015',
'Visual Studio 2015',
solution_version='12.00',
project_version='14.0',
flat_sln=False,
uses_vcxproj=True,
path=path,
sdk_based=sdk_based,
default_toolset='v141'),
'2015': VisualStudioVersion('2015',
'Visual Studio 2015',
solution_version='12.00',
project_version='14.0',
flat_sln=False,
uses_vcxproj=True,
path=path,
sdk_based=sdk_based,
default_toolset='v141'),

and with default

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools --vs2017
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source --runtime=node-webkit --target_arch=x64 --target=0.31.4 --msvs_version=2017

the shit will compile

I wrestled with this (and several other issues). I can't recall what I did to fix it, but I ended up writing a much simpler project generator for VS 2017 to get around having to use node-gyp on Windows for simple prototyping and experimenting with native modules.

It's at https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-vs-napi if you want to give it a try. There are no dependencies other than VS 2017 and Node.js >= 10, and takes a couple seconds to generate. Happy to fix any bugs you find.

I was trying to install better-sqlite3 but kept getting errors about not finding VCBuild and MSBuild.

I initally tried npm install -g node-gyp by itself but then got different errors.

I then tried to use npm install -g windows-build-tools which installed Visual Studio 2017 and did NOT include the v140 toolset and was getting and error about this.

But Visual Studio 2015 does includes the v140 toolset...
You can force windows-build-tools to install VS2015 instead of VS2017 with this:
npm install --vs2015 -g windows-build-tools

better-sqlite3 installed fine after this.

hope this can help

seems to have multiple answers in here, plus also newer node-gyp has more windows work in it so try it out and open a new issue if there's something specific we can look at.

A more direct way to fix this is to go to the Visual Studio Installer that got installed with windows-build tools, and to modify your build tools installation. Under the optional section on the right you will see a "VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop" option that you can check and that will work. I'm using Visual Studio Build Tools 2017.
