@mrudulp Follow the Guide. Is it fixed。

Nov 20 '21 23:11 heartacker

@heartacker The log output above says:

gyp info using [email protected]

which is the current release so no further upgrade is needed.

Is there a VCINSTALLDIR value printed when you run the SET command (without parameters) at Visual Studio command prompt?

Nov 21 '21 05:11 cclauss

@heartacker yes, have followed those instructions before posting.

@cclauss yes but in the Visual Studio Developer Command prompt only. Not on regular cmd

Nov 21 '21 17:11 mrudulp

Cool. In cmd, type SET VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\ like they do in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1679560/using-visual-studio-command-prompt-tools-everywhere

Nov 21 '21 17:11 cclauss

Nope did not help or did something wrong... here is what I did

@SET VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\
@SET VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\
@SET VCIDEInstallDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\
@SET VCToolsInstallDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.30.30705\
@SET VCToolsRedistDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.30.30704\
@SET VCToolsVersion=14.30.30705
@SET VisualStudioEdition=Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022
@SET VisualStudioVersion=17.0
@SET VS170COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\
@SET VSCMD_VER=17.0.1
@SET VSLANG=1033
@SET VSSDK150INSTALL=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VSSDK
@SET VSSDKINSTALL=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VSSDK
@SET VSSKUEDITION=Community
@if "%VSINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@if "%VCINSTALLDIR%"=="" goto error_no_VCINSTALLDIR


@goto end

:error_no_VSINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VSINSTALLDIR variable is not set. 
@goto end

:error_no_VCINSTALLDIR
@echo ERROR: VCINSTALLDIR variable is not set. 
@goto end

:end

and this is the partial output for node-gyp configure

gyp ERR! find VS msvs_version not set from command line or npm config
gyp ERR! find VS running in VS Command Prompt, installation path is:

Dec 05 '21 08:12 cclauss

@mrudulp I'm the same as you, have you solved it?

Dec 27 '21 09:12 kefeibuhuifei

In cmd, did you do npm config set msvs_version 2022 ?

Dec 27 '21 14:12 cclauss

i do npm config set msvs_version 2019， i use Visual Studio Build Tools lasted is 2019,but i can not work https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2581

Dec 28 '21 02:12 kefeibuhuifei

Probably because of the "constrained language mode" of powershell.

node-gyp use a piece of c# code to obtained the information of visual studio:

On my machine, the corresponding javascript file is C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\find-visualstudio.js, which invokes C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\Find-VisualStudio.cs;

However, PowerShell has a "ConstrainedLanguage" mode which prevent evaluation of c# code. See: ConstrainedLanguag, and node-gyp does not print useful information about this...

To workaroud this, try to set the system __PSLockdownPolicy environment variable to 8 and re-launch your cmd or powershell.

Jan 02 '22 09:01 walkerlala

Is there a way to fix this in code that does not require rebooting the shell with a nonstandard config?

Jan 02 '22 14:01 cclauss

I have the same error , i have node v 17.1.0 , node-gyp v 8.4.1 ans VS 2022 .

Jan 09 '22 10:01 Ziakimbogo

Same error. Node 16.13.1 node-gyp 8.4.0

UPDATE

I followed the instructions from here and everything works now. Thanks a ton, @heartacker. I've spent days on this.

Jan 19 '22 03:01 thierryntoh24

Can this issue be closed?

Jan 19 '22 14:01 cclauss

Yes.

Jan 19 '22 14:01 thierryntoh24

@thierryntoh24 not sure how its working for you guys. I did the fix in the node.exe folder on windows, I still face same issue. @cclauss

@steelx , I made an installation guide here. Follow it and lemme know. You might wanna uninstall the TFJS first. Also, don’t forget to add the C++ pack to your VS

Jan 21 '22 11:01 thierryntoh24

@steelx try uninstalling your Node and start back afresh.

if i run node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2017 I'll get same error with this line change msvs_version was set from command line or npm config

please anyone help me

May 27 '22 04:05 manjumallesh678

msvs_version = "2017" node_gyp = "C:\Users\manju\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" python = "c:\Python\27\python.exe"

npm config set msvs_version 2022

Python 3.10.4 is found correctly despite the out-of-date pythonsetting.

@nodejs/platform-windows I really dislike the following logic flow:

npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022"
npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS - will only use this version
npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS checking VS2017 (15.9.28307.1974) found at:

This seems to be a recurring blocker among our Window issues.

Hi @cclauss , Thank you so much for responding,

How to fix this issue now

May 27 '22 06:05 manjumallesh678

Try running npm config set msvs_version 2022 before your other commands.

In my machine i only have 2017 build tools

Oh. Then try running npm config set msvs_version 2017 before your other commands.

We want both msbuild_path AND msvs_version to point to 2017 artifacts.

The line C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe = "" looks a bit strange to me but I think you are good to go.

May 27 '22 06:05 cclauss

npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS running in VS Command Prompt, installation path is: npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022"

Are you in a VS2022 command prompt instead of a VS2017 command prompt? If so, is there a way to switch?

I guess you should install the 2022 build tools and go all-in on 2022 instead of 2017.

Maybe your Powershell is in ConstrainedLanguage mode. node-gyp will fail to find Visual Studio in this mode. Check this in Powershell: $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode.

You can see this how to change PowerShell mode to fulllanguage mode from constrained mode?
