Windows: dependant on MS Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64)

[andersfalk]

After some struggling I realized that node-gdal requires you to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64), i.e. vcredist_x64.exe, installed if you're on a Windows computer. Haven't seen any documentation on this dependancy. Hope this helps someone.

3 hours later and this finally solved my issue.

It kept saying

return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^
Error: The specified module could not be found.

and even installing in verbose mode did not hint at any problems, this really needs documented.

I didn't have this issue with gdal 0.9.3

This solved the issue for me on windows server 2016 as well. Thanks!
