leveldown@5.6.0 should be updated to latest to work in Windows 11

[Fatorin]

I try install 7.0.0beta2 in my computer, but get some error message.

It issue because Visual Studio 2022 can't be found by node-gyp 8.3.0.

I try update node-gyp version to latest, but didn't work, it still used 8.3.0 to build.

How can I fix this problem?

What version of windows are you using?

[Fatorin]

What version of windows are you using?

Win11 22471.1000

[davidmurdoch]

Hm, ganache ships with pre-built Windows binaries for leveldown. Can you try to npm install leveldown and let me know if it works for you?

I install leveldown success but ganache still install fail.

[davidmurdoch]

Hm, that's interesting. Ganache's version of leveldown is 5.6.0, which is not latest. Perhaps leveldown has fixed something in a recent version.

Can you try npm install leveldown@5.6.0 and let me know if it works?

It still can't work.

I try a other way, install new NodeJS version(17.3.0) and try install ganache again. But I get new errors. Maybe I should use Linux to set up my development environment.

[davidmurdoch]

It still can't work.

Ok, so it sounds like the version of leveldown Ganache ships with is incompatible with Windows 11. We'll try to update this to fix it in a release soon!

[davidmurdoch]

@Fatorin A new release just went out. Can you try it on Windows 11? Run npm install --global ganache@rc to install globally

I install success!!! And it can work, thanks you!

[davidmurdoch]

Awesome! Thanks for giving it a try.

I'll close this issue since I looks like it's been solved. Let us know if you find any other issues.

Hi David, Still getting a similar issue when I ran C:\Users\gmac7\demos\web3_py_simple_storage>npm install --global ganache@rc.

No idea what I am doing sorry.

[davidmurdoch]

Install ganache@latest instead. 😁

[Grantmac75]

Install ganache@latest instead. 😁

Hah yeah that's what I had done first and thought this might have fixed my issue. It might be I need the latest visual studio so I am going to try that. That's the only think I can think of.
