Cannot install a package on Windows 8.1, runas problem

[kotfilemon]

Hello,

I am having problems with installing anything on my windows 8.1 box with apm.

My setup: Python 2.6 (but also tried with 2.7), git, Visual Studio 2013. I tried installing with

a) setting switch --msvs_version=2013
b) setting variable to set VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120

Please, see the output:

This is an issue in that package, it needs to upgrade this line to be ^3.3.1 instead of ~2.0.7.

I would recommend opening an issue or pull request on that package's repo: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/atom-api-blueprint-preview/issues/new
