Is this installed correctly?

• Platform : Windows 7 x64

My shell is stuck here for several minutes and I don't see any CPU / Hard Disk activity either.

It seems like the Python installer never came back to tell you what happened - would you mind taking a peek at %USERPROFILE%\.windows-build-tools\ to see if there are any log files?

python-log.txt is empty

Same issue here, using latest Node 6.9.1 LTS 64-bit on Windows Server 2008 R2

This is also happening to me, but with build tools:

Waiting for installers... \Successfully installed Python 2.7
Waiting for installers... \

same as above, my OS is Windows 10, shell stuck at :
Waiting for installers... \Successfully installed Python 2.7
Waiting for installers... \

Also having this problem. Don't see anything in logs.

I was having this problem too, and understood once I manually ran the Visual Build Tools installer: the installer downloads a bunch of files before starting installation.
If you are stuck at

Waiting for installers... \Successfully installed Python 2.7
Waiting for installers... \

you just have to wait (took me ~15mn) for all files to be downloaded, and the installation will resume.

I'm also seeing the same. Using the LTS 6.9.4. It's stuck at:

Waiting for installers... |Successfully installed Python 2.7
Waiting for installers... \

I've let this sit for about 1.5 hours. WIFI shows no activity, so it's not downloading files.

Greetings, JIC someone is having the same issue, I've fixed removing the installed Python in my machine (yeah, I've had it installed), removing it from Windows PATH, running a cleaner like CCleaner and trying to run the installer again...

[miy4mori]

try this

npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

Edit:
The above is wrong.The real reason is that it will call Microsoft's installer in the background to download and install, please be patient.

Fix for this anyone?

Edit:
Nevermind, @miy4mori ended up finishing 10 seconds after making this comment...

@miy4mori Fixed it for me as well on Windows 7.
