I'm getting this error when trying to install my node modules for my node server.
MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe".
To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK,
2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or
3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere.
[C:\inetpub\wwwroot\PearsonRealty- API\node_modules\bcrypt\build\binding.sln]
I've tried to install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, but it just exits out and never runs. I can't install Microsoft Visual Studio since I'm on an AWS EC2 instance and I wouldn't have enough space for it. Any help would be awesome, thanks.
You do need to install either VCExpress (preferrably at least 2015) or you can try the experimental VC Build Tools solution which is a smaller install than full-blown VCExpress. Otherwise, if you have one, you can try building on a local Windows machine first and then uploading the compiled addon directory to AWS.

Info
I am using Visual Studio 2019.
The Microsoft guides for creating SPA's requires you to install NodeJS from the official website, at least the guides I have perused so far.
When I installed Visual Studio I selected NodeJS development.
Visual studio installed NodeJS here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs
Question
My goal is to use NodeJS for development and NOT interfere with the operation of Visual Studio AND to only have one version of NodeJS installed AND to avoid installing NVM.
Must I install NodeJS again or should I use the version installed by Visual Studio?
It also raises the following concerns, which I don't expect to get answered here, but it would be nice to know:
If I install it again, will conflicts occur between the two versions?
If conflicts occur, how do I resolve them?
If I use the one installed by Visual Studio, can I update it at will, or does Visual Studio require a specific version of NodeJS?

There was a question posted to the Microsoft Developer Community forums that also addresses this question. Quote:
Thank you for reporting this feedback. The NodeJS workload doesn’t install the Node Runtime and NPM on it’s own. The install you mentioned in the Visual Studio folder is used internally for Visual Studio operations. You would need to install the runtime you want to use separately, which would be picked up by NodeJS workload and corresponding apps.
In response to your question:
Must I install NodeJS again or should I use the version installed by Visual Studio?
Yes - so while it seems a whole separate copy of Node.js and npm is installed under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\NodeJs when you install Visual Studio (with the Node.js workload), you are meant to install the regular version of Node.js and npm from https://nodejs.org/ and use that in your day-to-day development activities, which is what I've been doing (except with VS2022) and have not encountered any conflicts so far.
Edit: IF you do encounter conflicts with installed Node.js or npm versions, there is a way to resolve them, by changing the order of precedance of paths that VS uses. Go to 'Tools -> Options -> CTRL+E: "External Web Tools"' and you should see this:
Move the $(PATH) entry up or down depending on which version should take priority.
You can check if NodeJS is installed or not using the node -v and check if npm package manager is installed using npm -v. If you find that NodeJS is not installed, then download the NodeJS from here.
I have done fresh installation of Visual Studio 2013 - update 3 and have installed Visual studio 2013 MDA (Multi Device Application), and also have installed setup for Node js..
But when I create New Hybrid - Application project it shows me an error of "Node.js cannot be found"
Please help me..
You need to have NodeJS installed on your system.
Get the installer from this page: http://nodejs.org/download/
After installation you should also check if node command is usable the command line (cmd).
If it's not available you will need to manually add NodeJS to your path.
I am trying to install Socket.io on windows server 2012

I've installed the framework 2.0 but do I have to buy a licence for visual studio 2005 to install on server? Or is there really a need to install it? Or is there some alternative compiler for server editions?
The reason behind my question is that the same setup done on windows server 2008 does not throw any error. I did not install anything special on windows server 2008.
The problem is with Server 2012 only.
What could be the possible way out?
The only solution that I found to this problem:
----Instead of compiling the binaries on server, do it on local system.
Install all the binaries like Socket.io, express and connect on your local system.
Make sure that all required binaries are compiled and loaded into node_modules folder.
Simply FTP that folder on your server. (Make sure that python 2.7 is installed on server)
run
node server.js //or yourFile.js
and that should work fine.

I installed .NET Framework 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) (x86) . still getting same error

Karma
Here's the Karma owner's (Vojta Jina) comment on the issue:
this is just optional compilation of native module to speed things up.
Even without native module it will still work.
In any case, not a Karma issue, so closing. If you want to compile
native modules, use linux/mac ;-)
Btw. regarding your getting the same error even after SDK install, possibly VCBuild.exe and/or C++ compiler is not added to path.
I have installed NodeJs and the module 'express'. Now I want to istall socket.io, but it doesn't work. I've tried differend NodeJS versions, but all installations failed.

Looks like a native addon build error. Do you have a proper build environment set up?
Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (Express version works well)
For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows 7 64-bit SDK
If the install fails, try uninstalling any C++ 2010 x64&x86 Redistributable that you have installed first.
If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may also need the compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
