npm fails to install on windows xp

dnissley commented 12 years ago

I don't have another computer to test this on, but when I "npm install node-qt" I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\dylan\My Documents\Dropbox\Code\QT-Ex>npm install node-qt

@TooTallNate I'm not familiar with build version issues on Windows/MSVS - any ideas?

TooTallNate commented 12 years ago

@dnissley Do you have MSVS 2010 installed or some other version?

dnissley commented 12 years ago

I have 2008 and 2010 installed, but I did not have VC++ installed on either (because I don't do any C++ on windows). I figured that was my issue so I installed VC++ 2010, restarted and tried again, but got the exact same error.

Not sure if this will be helpful, but here are the contents of the npm-debug.log: https://gist.github.com/2359224
