cmake-js compile step error: OMG There is no Visual C++ compiler installed

[summivox]

But I do (both 2015 and 2017), and other packages using node-gyp seem to be working just fine.

$ npm i --save node-iohook
npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm

Hi @summivox

Thank you for reporting that issue. It seems that CMake can't find Visual Studio. which the CMake you're installed.

a small tip: you can set up VS variables and Env by calling C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat in the current shell
