Windows 8.1 issue - node-gyp rebuild

[MichalGrzegorzak]

Hi, I have Visual Studio 2017, have downloaded even old build tools for VS 2013. But it`s still failing on node-gyp rebuild. Read a couple of workarounds on this on the web, but nothing works. Seems like VS 2017 is to blame :/ Any tips ?

Hi. Have you tried what it suggests to you? "To build using the v120 build tools, please install v120 bu ild tools"

Yes I did, have VS 2017, and I installed every build tools possible. Guys from 'node-gyp' are aware of this problem, and they even raise it to Visual Studio team.
