Does it build for you if you build it from the repository?

I'm guessing the error in red is the real problem The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found.... Take a look at what that describes, try again, and let us know how that works out. Thanks.

I didn't try from repository.

But you are correct. I manually installed SDK version 8.1 on my PC. That error is gone.

Now I have one stupid error. I should be able to fix that.

Thank you so much!

Best Regards, Kumar

I'm having a similar error code. I just updated node as well as npm. Perhaps bcrypt is not supported in Nodev7??

Had the same issue. Installed:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk

Fixed but new error was displayed:
"node gyp error TRACKER : error TRK0005: Failed to locate: “CL.exe”. The system cannot find the file specified"

Solution:

I fixed this issue by simply creating c++ project in VS2015.

Basically, when u choose to create a c++ project, vs2015 will ask you to install a certain component, you just let it install. the issue will get fixed. (BTW, I am using VS2015 on Win10)

Here is the another reference link: http://stackoverflow.com/a/33716573/4468648

Fixed but new error was displayed:
" '__pfnDliNotifyHook2': redefinition; different type modifiers "

Solution:
nodejs/node-gyp#972

It's building properly now.
