[1.3.3 windows 10]Problem with meteor update - npm-node-aes-gcm@0.1.3_6

[tcastelli]

I've run into this problem after updating a project from 1.3.2.4 to 1.3.3.
Have tried to clean local folder and try meteor update again but result is always the same. (My username in windows has spaces not sure if that's the trouble maker).
I am using oauth-encryption in my package list( it was working just fine previously)

D:\Programming\workspace\project>meteor update
=> Errors while initializing project:

While loading package npm-node-aes-gcm@0.1.3_6:

Following up, I tried to do meteor npm install node-aes-gcm
And found the following errors(may be linked with the problem since I see something about visual studio that has been mentioned in others issues)

This is probably related to #7007, if I had to guess.

You may be able get this to succeed in the meantime by making sure the prerequisites for node-gyp are installed on your system.

[tcastelli]

Thanks @benjamn I could finally do a meteor update by following your indications and some other extra steps, for anyone having the same problem this is what I did for Windows 10

1. Install python 2.7 an make sure the path is correct #7178 is a good reference place to check what needs to be set(it is normally set by default)
2. Install the Visual Studio C++ Build tools
3. Install OpenSSL-Win32 Lib (don't change the default installation path and choose to keep your libs under /bin not on windows folder)
4. At this point, to make sure everything will be fine when doing meteor update, I went to my project folder and did meteor npm install -g node-gyp. If everything was installed properly you will see a list of installed modules
5. Now to test for aes, run meteor npm install node-aes-gcm. You may see some yellow warnings but if it finishes it will be okay.
6. meteor update and cross fingers for a updated to Meteor 1.3.3. message :)

[benjamn]

This should be fixed in Meteor 1.3.3.1 (with oauth-encryption@1.0.12 and npm-node-aes-gcm@0.1.5_1), which you can try by running meteor update --release 1.3.3.1.
