Cannot install, compile error

[rogierschouten]

I can't install fs-ext due to the compile error below. I have Windows 7, VS2013, Node 0.10.36 and NPM 2.6.0.

I'm getting this too on the latest version of node. Did you fix it?

[rogierschouten]

No sorry found no solution.

[eranimo]

I ended up having to stop using this plugin and like 4 others that use it. It's a shame.

What happened here? It used to work according to #24.

Is this issue fixed. I am also getting the same issue.

Just checking in to see if anyone has found a solution to this yet. I just tried it on a Windows Server 2016 TP2 box and received the same errors. Using node 0.12.4.

+1 Almost every module I try and install depends on this module please fix it.

Same issue with Win10 Pro 64bit, VS2015, node v5.10.0, node-gyp v3.3.1, npm v3.8.3 (all latest) It looks like fs-ext is an optional dependency for most of npm modules (e.g. mosca) and they should work without it as well. Chek with modules' authors.

Should be fixed.
