Installation error: "fatal error LNK1127: library is corrupt"

[Flourek]

I've been at this for days. I've tried every solution under the sun, but none worked. I've followed the troubleshooting thoroughly, reinstalled visualstudio, nodejs, npm, node-gyp, python, made sure all of these are on the same 64bit platform. I get the same issue when trying "npm i integer", but I'm posting it here because there seems to be more activity here.

I asked a friend to try doing this, and he encountered absolutely 0 problems.
Please help. Thanks.

That error message is not very descriptive, and I've never seen it before. Something is certainly wrong with your build environment, but I wouldn't know specifically.

Will try messing around with the build environment, as soon as I have time. Thanks

@Flourek Have you made any progress with your issue?

[JoshuaWise]

Closing due to unresponsiveness.

Just stumbled on this bug.

C:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Local\\node-gyp\\Cache\\12.18.3\\x64\\node.lib : fatal error LNK1127: library is corrupt

For future reference, deleting the node-gyp cache folder should fix this issue.

Path - C:\Users\[USERNAME]\.node-gyp or C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\node-gyp
