Tips, tricks, and resources for working with Node.js, and the start of an ongoing conversation on how we can improve the Node.js experience on Microsoft platforms.
I saw this error when trying to install a project that depended on utf-8-validate:
{my-node-project-dir}\node_modules\bufferutil\build\bufferutil.vcxproj(20,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Despite having followed the instructions listed in this document, the C:\Program Files(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props directory didn't exist (it should've been V140, which corresponds to VS 2015).
The solution to this problem was at the bottom of this issue filed against node-gyp, and I thought it'd be useful if it was also highlighted here.
