Before cancelling the workflow, it ran in the loop for 11 min.

What should happen

Installation should succeed.

I agree this is weird, but do you really need to install this package inside GitHub Actions? I would guess it already worked out of the box.

@papb would be glad to avoid, but it seems node-sass installation failure bound to node-gyp is the bottleneck here:

A note worth making: running without npm install --global --production windows-build-tools and directly against npm install succeeds when on Node.js v14.x, but node-gyp install fails on Node.js v15.x.

Having same issues, install is in endless loop

Same issue when using Windows Server 2016

I also tried to pre-install Python 2.7. Now there is an endless loop continuously printing
