Windows 10 installation problem

[regissg]

npm install @abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket gives the following error message

node-pre-gyp WARN Using needle for node-pre-gyp https download
node-pre-gyp WARN Tried to download(404): https://github.com/abandonware/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/releases/download/0.5.3-4/binding-0.5.3-4-node-v72-win32-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not found for @abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket@0.5.3-4 and node@12.13.0 (node-v72 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.

any clue on how to fix that?

This looks like a windows specific issue
may you try:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm install --verbose @abandonware/bluetooth-hci-socket 

And then attach log files, an other option would be to setup CI to build binaries for windows (and others)...

[regissg]

It seems that the issue is with Visual studio that does not install as you could see in the log
windows-build-tools.log

[rzr]

Is some of you familiar with CI/CD on windows ?

[rzr]

it would help to 1st fix this build bot
eg:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rzr/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/builds/35548034
