Not sure what to do about this, I don't use Windows, and don't have VS2017 Pro. I'm using node-gyp which is supposed to make things like these cross-platform. binding.gyp has this part for Windows:

            # "openssl_root" is the directory on Windows of the OpenSSL files
            ['target_arch=="x64"', {
              'variables': {
                'openssl_root%': 'C:/OpenSSL-Win64'
              },
          'libraries': ['<(openssl_root)/lib/<!@(dir /B C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libeay32.lib C:\OpenSSL-Win64\lib\libcrypto.lib)'],
            }, {
              'variables': {
                'openssl_root%': 'C:/OpenSSL-Win32'
              },
          'libraries': ['<(openssl_root)/lib/<!@(dir /B C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\libeay32.lib C:\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\libcrypto.lib)'],
            }],

Do you have these OpenSSL files in their expected places?

@xorbit hello Can you help me solve the problem?

[xorbit]

As I mentioned above, I don't have Windows to try it on, sorry. Not sure if @paulyu12 ever solved his problem and may be able to share a solution?

[ltinerary]

try npm install node-aes-gcm --unsafe-perm

[vidding]

@Freedomhxb @paulyu12 I also failed to install it at the beginning. Later, I installed OpenSSL to C:\OpenSSL-Win64, and the installation was successful

I used the following solution to encrypt/decrypt. I'm not sure whether it helps or not.

Thank you for posting the example @paulyu12! While I try to keep this package usable for those who have it integrated in their software, it was mostly a crutch to deal with the lack of support for GCM in node's crypto module at the time when I created it. Now the crypto module supports GCM, it would be best to migrate to that.
