I got the same issue (iojs 1.6.2, npm 2.7.1, python 2.7.9)

I closed it because I was able to resolve it. I installed the latest
nodejs.org and Make you install the latest python 2.7 and add a PYTHON
environment variable that points to c:\python27

Why is the issue closed, any solution ? I'm getting the same and I'm
trying to install browser-sync.

Visual Studio is also required (VS express 2013 should work)

See https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp#installation

But I never got it working on iojs (even latest version 3.0)

I would file a new issue then.
