Cannot install ccap (nodejs library) on windows 7 - node.js

I started CMD with administrative privileges, then this: npm install -g ccap
But I get an error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.InvalidPlatform
.Targets(23,7): error MSB8007: The Platform for project 'hcaptha.vcxproj' is in

tform that doesn't exist for this project. [C:\Users\adam\AppData\Roaming\npm\n
ode_modules\ccap\build\hcaptha.vcxproj]

Found a new, more likely, cause. There were some compatibility issues with gyp node and Windows x64. Check the versions of node-gyp and node and try updating. See this: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/issues/90#issuecomment-8964116

Node Sass No Binding for Your current environment

I've seen quite a few of these questions on SO, but none seem to solve or match the problem.
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Node.js 6.x. The odd thing is, I don't have Node.js 6.x installed. From the command line, node -v gives me v5.10.1.
I'm the Angular4 Universal Asp.net core visual studio 2017 template straight out of the box.
I've tried
npm rebuild node-sass --force
Reordering node in Web External toolsin Visual Studio
fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel[13]
Connection id "0HL4JSD9SSV8E": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.
System.Exception: Call to Node module failed with error: Prerendering failed because of error: Error: Module build failed: Error: Missing binding D:\Projects\angular2\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-48\binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Node.js 6.x
Found bindings for the following environments:
Windows 64-bit with Node.js 5.x
This usually happens because your environment has changed since running npm install.
Run npm rebuild node-sass --force to build the binding for your current environment.

at Object. (D:\Projects\angular2\node_modules\node-sass\lib\index.js:14:35)
Where have I gone wrong?
On Visual Studio 2017 (15.4.1) you should go to:
Tools > Configure External Tools > Projects and Solutions > Web Package Management > External Web Tools
Then reorder the tools as seen below.
This worked for me.
Deleting node_modules folder and re-installing npm modules using npm install worked for me.
Visual Studio ships it's own version of Node embedded so that's why you see a mismatch.
The TROUBLSHOOTING guide in the repo covers how to work around this https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#using-node-sass-with-visual-studio-2015-task-runner

NPM error (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception) in Visual Studio 2015

I need to get started coding an Angular 2 application at my workplace but I get the following error in VS:
====Executing command 'npm install'====
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)

Error executing npm - unable to start the npm process
Error - Cannot load global packages.
I've followed Angular 2 VS 2015 QuickStart guide, located here:
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/visual-studio-2015.html
Prerequisites are all installed:
VS 2015 with Update 3
nodeJS v.6.9.1
TypeScript v.2.0.6.0
This error shows up in the output when I open the project or try to do a 'restore packages'
Thanks.
It looks like you need other version of Node. You have maybe too new version of Node I guess. According to this thread: https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools/issues/476
you should downgrade and configure VS:
It looks like vs2015 does not work with the latest 5.0.0 Node. Replacing with 4.2.2 one solves this issue for me. To make Visual Stuido use the same Node and npm as cmd by changing some files including node.exe under following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External
Look for this article also http://jameschambers.com/2015/09/upgrading-npm-in-visual-studio-2015/
I finally found out the reason.. nodeJS was installed with the x86 installer on a x64 computer. Installed nodeJS in 64 bit and it resolved my issue.
Hope this help anyone who has this error.

node-gyp build error for bcrypt module in Windows_NT 6.1.7600 (x86)

I found many answers like a kind of this question, but all of them could not solve my problem. Here are my versions installed:
node 0.10.31
npm 1.4.23
node-gyp 0.10.31
bcrypt 0.7.8
I have the dependency in package.json "bcrypt": "0.7.x". Here are my step-by-step:
1) Run npm install
gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can
set the PYTHON env variable.
I had to install Python 2.7.*
2) Run npm install
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.
I had to install Visual Studio 2008 (Professional) which is the only one I had in my hand. And I added the PATH variable C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcpackages where vcbuild.exe is.
3) Run npm install again
VCBUILD : error Message: [D:\...\node_modules\bcrypt\build\binding.sln]
VCBUILD : System error : -2147154687. [D:\...\node_modules\bcrypt\build\binding.sln]

gyp ERR! stack Error: `C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe`

It seems using .NET 4 and failed. I have six .NET frameworks folders in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework and it seems using the latest one:
v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.50727
v3.0
v3.5
v4.0.30319
4) Tried npm install --msvs_version=2008
Same error as (2).
5) Tried npm install --msvs_version=2012
Error changed a little bit.
D:\...\node_modules\bcrypt\build\bcrypt_lib.vcxproj(18,3): error MSB4019: The imported
project "D:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the

gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: `C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe`
failed with exit code: 1
6) Tried node-gyp rebuild
D:\...\node-proj>node-gyp rebuild --msvs_version=2008
'node-gyp' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Is there any idea on this?
I followed the Windows installation step for node-gyp and installing Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express solved the problem except a few warnings. I did see the library created in the console message.
The build process seems looking for [Drive]:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.dll which is installed by Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express.
Firstly I installed Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012/13 for Windows Desktop, one of the requirement for Windows7/8. But it did not work actually and it is not necessary for Windows 7.
Conclusion
The node-gyp requirement for Windows 7 32 bits (Windows 7/8 64 bits may have different requirement):
Python v2.7.3 (v3.x.x is not supported)
Windows XP/Vista/7:
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
Windows 7/8:
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012/13 for Windows Desktop (Express version works well)
This is a requirement not only for bcrypt, but all node modules which needs to be built using node-gyp. If you check the configuration files of a module, you will see its requirement, for example, you can check the following files:
\node_modules\bcrypt\build\binding.sln
\node_modules\bcrypt\build\config.gypi

VS Express has no x64 build support, so you have a couple of options here:
install the trial edition of the full Visual Studio suite
uninstall 64bit node and use the x86 version
install the Windows SDK
I personally recommend the second (win32 node), since the SDK install is a pain in the back (mostly it fails with no error messages, which "may be" the sign of a "bad" vcredist version), and the full Visual Studio is not that cheap (while the trial is not a permanent solution).
32-bit Node reports warnings for bson and kerberos.
I don't understand why is node-gyp even being fired. I thought that native packages come pre-built, with binaries for my OS?
Hmm, I guess I thought wrong.

Make sure you have all the required software to run node-gyp:
https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp
You can configure version of Visual Studio used by gyp via an environment variable so you can avoid having to set the --msvs_version=2012 property every time you do an npm install.
Examples:
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2012 for Visual Studio 2012
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013e (the 'e' stands for 'express edition')
For the full list see
- https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.10.29/tools/gyp/pylib/gyp/MSVSVersion.py#L209-294
This is still painful for Windows users of NodeJS as it assumes you have a copy of Visual Studio installed and many end users will never have this. So I'm lobbying Joyent to the encourage them to include web sockets as part of CORE node and also to possible ship a GNU gcc compiler as part of NodeJS install so we can permanently fix this problem.

error MSB8007 while downloading dependencies with npm and node

I am trying to install some packages in my node app with npm, and I keep getting the error below. I get the same error with socket.io and mongo. I have gone through a number of different errors similar to this, and have install so many different things as per suggestion in other threads that I really have no idea what the problem is. If anyone has any suggestion as to what I need to download/set I would greatly appreciate it.

VS C++ Express 2010 32bit is free. if you installed 64bit edition of nodejs just remove it and install 32 bit version of the node.js
I had a simallar problem, and this is my solution. I am running windows 7 x64. I installed the x64 version of nodejs. I tried to run install and this is what I got:
At first it wanted me to put git into my path, which I did. then it wanted me to install python (not version 3.x.x but 2.x.x) and put that in my path, which I did. Then I installed visual studio 2010 (c++). after I did all of this I got this error:
D:\Source\xxxx\grunt-raptr\node_modules\node_modules\libxmljs\build\vendor\libxml\libxml.vcxproj(18,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "D:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I read somewhere that if you run it in the visual studio cmd you can make it work, I tried that and I got this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.InvalidPlatform.Targets(23,7): error MSB8007: The Platform for project 'libxml.vcxproj' is invalid. Platform='x64'.

[D:\Source\xxxx\node_modules\grunt-raptr\node_modules\libxmljs\build\vendor\libxml\libxml.
vcxproj]
Once I saw this I re-installed nodejs with the x32 version and everything worked.
I hope this helps someone.
While trying to install node-inspector: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.InvalidPlatform.Targets(23,7): error MSB8007: The Platform for project 'bufferutil.vcxproj' is invalid. Platform='x64'
My machine:
Win 7 64bit
node 0.12.7 64bit
Python 2.7 64bit
How I fixed it with all the advice found on the nets:
Uninstall all VC++ 20xx Redistributables
(use this MS FixIt if the uninstall fails)
Install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7
Select only Visual C++ Compilers
Run npm install -g node-inspector --python="C:\Python27\python.exe"
If that still doesn't work try this:
install the MS SDK x64 Libraries
add this line 'AdditionalLibraryDirectories': 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.1\\Lib\\x64', in every addon.gypi you find
C:\nodejs\node_modules\node-gyp\addon.gypi
C:\Users\YOU\.node-gyp\0.12.7\deps\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\addon.gypi
?
addon.gypi:
...
'msvs_settings': {
'VCLinkerTool': {
'DelayLoadDLLs': [ 'iojs.exe', 'node.exe' ],
# Don't print a linker warning when no imports from either .exe
# are used.
'AdditionalOptions': [ '/ignore:4199' ],
# THIS LINE HERE
'AdditionalLibraryDirectories': 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.1\\Lib\\x64',
},
...
Good luck!
