Windows installer vs conda-forge::nodejs C compiler #374

Comment:

I know for a fact that the Windows installer also sets up build tools; but I am unable to verify if conda-forge distribution contains it. I would guess not (and I have seen installs fail due to node-gyp).

So I wonder what is the workaround? Doing npm install --global windows-build-tools?

In the conda world, you would install the c-compiler package.

Thank you for the fast response! I manually uninstalled build tools and will test it and try to post my findings here.
