node-gyp with Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015

[Gabriel0402]

When I'm installing node-gyp in windows 10 with visual studio 2015, there's an error which says that binding.gyp not found. I've installed python27 and set the path in node-gyp. I also install the windows10 sdk which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10. But the error still exists. Any help?

a very long way for widows - there are missing files

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External\npm\node_modules\npm\ .... just missing .... node_modules\node-gyp\bin...

hi @Gabriel0402 @pinin

This is a different error. It's "binding.gyp".

dado3212 I had the same error when trying to install robotjs which rebuilds node-gyp. Got things to work only after setting the env var to 2015:

set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
npm install --msvs_version=2015
npm install robotjs
