same issue here! It hangs on the Visual Studio Build tools - Still waiting for installer log file.. Is the alternate to run the vs_BuildTools.exe?
I switched to Linux
I was about to switch to linux too. Then I tried this on my Windows 10 PC. Uninstall my nodejs (from Add Remove program). Install the node-v14.17.6-x64msi. During the installation steps select the option to install related software (eg c++).
Reboot the PC and the npm install now works!
