Thanks but I installed vs 2015 and set its environment variables and it worked for me.

I'm having this issue trying to install secp256k1.

They suggest to install dependencies with a command npm install --global windows-build-tools. Well, I tried this. I tried to install all dependencies by myself, I tried #762, I tried also reinstalling after cleaning the node_modules folder. All attempts doesn't work, this is the end of the log:

after running npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global and npm install npm@next -g, calling node-gyp throws the error of this issue.

Even with npm config set node_gyp "node path\to\node-gyp.js" it doesnt' find node-gyp anymore...
It's hard even to figure out what is the problem.

sorry we haven't been able to provide an answer here, I'm going to close this and hope that newer versions of npm and node-gyp solve most of these problems

For folks arriving here via google, be careful with npm_config_node_gyp, it means you have npm config set node_gyp (which you can see with npm config get) pointing to an alternative version of node-gyp than the one npm ships with. If you have them mixed up you can end up with perverse situations and odd errors. Before reporting errors, try removing it entirely and using the default npm version, using npm config delete node_gyp, and also try upgrading your version of npm (npm install npm@latest -g).
