Python - still waiting for installer log file #192

Closed mythicalbadger closed 5 years ago

mythicalbadger commented 5 years ago

Hey, I know there are lots of other threads with this issue, but I have read all of them and tried their solutions, and my installation is still not working. It always gets stuck on the Python "Still waiting for installer log file".

I've tried npm install -g windows-build-tools npm install -g windows-build-tool@4.0.0 as well as both with the --production option, npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

I've also tried

It still always hangs on the Python 'still waiting for installer log file'. Is there any way I can fix this? I've read through the forums multiple times, and to no avail. I just bought a new computer, but it worked on my old one. Just trying to work on a Discord bot....

Nevermind, the solution was to just Ctrl^C out when the Python part was reached....

I left this running overnight lol, 8 hours later

Still waiting for installer log file...

Ctrl^C

Now configuring the Visual Studio Build Tools and Python...

I've got this same issue, except hitting Ctrl^C after a significant amount of time doesn't progress the install/wait. It asks to terminate the batch job and then proceeds to terminate it despite whatever you chose (Y/N).

I've re-run the command with --verbose and --loglevel silly and even went as far as to add --debug only to get no different responses at this point (--debug just constantly spits out 'still waiting on installer log file').

Any further tips on this would be fantastic. Windows Build Tools / whatever node-gyp uses has been a pain in my neck for the past week and has ground development to a halt.

EDIT: Disregard this. Windows Build Tools had been installed by this point, so I figured that it'd be worth a shot just to manually install Python 2.7 and go from there and it worked.
