"npm install webworker-threads" fails due to libcpmt.lib

[AArnott]

Installing this package worked a week ago. Now (on a similar machine) it doesn't.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libcpmt.lib' [C:\git\WebWorker\node_modules\webworker-threads\build\WebWorkerThreads.vcxproj]

The full output is:

npm install  webworker-threads

Maybe it's outdated npm or environment settings?
