node.js module installation release Microsoft.Cpp.x 64.Targets(146,5): error MSB6006: "CL.exe
Problem
I'm getting the following error when installing:
npm install ecrud
I'm the only one on my team getting this problem. Previously I got a separate error message stating that I needed .NET 2 SDK or to add the path to VCBuild.exe. I installed the SDK, Visual Studio, and Visual C++ express. Then I see this error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(29
