Windows 8.1 x64 install error

Somewhat similar to #9, but a different stack trace.

It looks like the relevant part is MSB4132: The tools version "2.0" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "4.0"..

What version of Visual Studio are you using? If not 2010, can you try setting the GYP_MSVS_VERSION env variable?

[Arcanemagus]

I'm not using any version of Visual Studio, I was simply trying to install the language-markdown package. That package depends on 'node-pathwatcher`, which utilizes this package to run dd as admin on darwin platforms here.

As it looks like the base package is only using that to get a list of the file contents this chain seems a bit ridiculous. In any case, does this package require VS to install on Windows?

[50Wliu]

In any case, does this package require VS to install on Windows?

Yes to install it by itself. I don't think VS is required to install packages relying on this though...
