node-sass compilation fails because Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props was not found

Created on 8 Sep 2016 · 2Comments · Source: sass/node-sass

Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2013
I'm using node 6.5.0

The critical line seems to be this one:
H:\workspace\CMOTStyles\node_modules\node-sass\build\src\libsass.vcxproj(20,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "H:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Full log:
