That doesn't seem to give the exact error. Are you installing this from package.json rather than through npm install node-protobuf? It looks like you're on Windows, which has pretty complex instructions because you need to get the compiled source lib and headers exported to npm through an environment variable, have you gone through the installation procedure in the README?

i am trying to install this through npm command prompt and as for exporting of the compiled source lib, i have a libprotobuf.lib file but dont know how to export it to npm, thats exactly what im trying to figure out

Closing, try v1.4.1 and make sure to use latest npm (npm i -g npm@latest).
