Installing etheratom errors

[Aconitin]

Hey, When I try to install etheratom, it fails with this error:

npm ERR! node v6.9.5
npm ERR! npm v3.10.5
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! scrypt@6.0.3 install: node-gyp rebuild
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the scrypt@6.0.3 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'.
npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the scrypt package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR! node-gyp rebuild
npm ERR! You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
npm ERR! npm bugs scrypt
npm ERR! Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
npm ERR! npm owner ls scrypt
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! %AppData%\Local\Temp\apm-install-dir-117424-6572-1ax57bw.037rwfjemi\npm-debug.log
npm ERR! code 1

I am running Win10 & have the latest node.js. Now, the file it tells me to provide (in the end) doesn't exist, but I found another log in the Atom_crashes ffolder with a current timestamp that might help ...
operation_log.txt

try install https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools
and reinstall node-scrypt after this

Worked, thanks!

@fanatid's Your solution does work, thanks!

What do you think the root problem is, @barrysteyn? Many people seem to be facing the same issue when installing some modules on Windows 7, e.g. solidity-repl, ethereumjs-testrpc, truffle...

node-scrypt should use https://github.com/mafintosh/prebuild
this will solve many problems
