Robotjs: Failing to install on windows 10, x64, node 8.8.0

[Glutch]

Hello! Seems like a great package, would love to get it working!

What i've done so far to try to fix it
Installed python 2.7.14
npm install prebuild-install node-gyp rebuild -g
(and i already have the majority of .net stuff installed since i do a lot of c# work)

• RobotJS version: Trying to install latest "npm install robotjs"
• Node.js version: 8.8.0
• npm version: 5.5.1
• Operating System: Windows 10 x64

Installed nvm-windows, downgraded to node 6.11.5. Now working

@Glutch thanks, solved my problem

@Glutch @isrmicha I had similar issues until I found Option 1 in the node-gyp readme. Now I've got robotjs 0.4.7 (commit d021733) running on Windows 10 x64, Node.js 9.3.0, and npm 5.5.1.

@jareddgotte thanks worked for me.

That should be solved with the latest release

[exejutable]

That should be solved with the latest release

The issues persists Windows 10, x64 and nodejs v10.16.3
