Error: Can't find Python executable

[themhz]

Hello, I am getting the following error when I attempt to npm install -g gulp-converter-tjs
It looks like I am missing python but the path is correct for python.exe . I can even run python command from my cmd and also enviroment variables are set.
Any suggestions?

p (node "C:\Users\themhz\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp

Same error, very frustrating. Did you find a solution?

Hi can you try installing node-gyp
here are the instructions
https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
After installation you can run the npm i again and it'll start working

I solved this problem a day or two after my post, forgot to come back to it.

If I recall correctly the solution was found by installing some dependencies manually. If I'm not mistaken I believe node-gyp was one of them.
