Initially there were issue related to [gyp ERR! find VS find VS msvs_version not set from command line or npm config?]

So tried following commands and other options to resolve it,
 
>npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global
>npm config set msbuild_path "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe"
>yarn install --global --production windows-build-tools

Downloaded and installed the microsoft build tools with Desktop development with C++.
tried setting the environment variable for VCINSTALLDIR to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC"

But still there are errors mentioned as above
what could be the solution to this?

I'm getting the same error when trying to install dependencies for a large project.

I tried the same steps as you did to no avail as well.

Interestingly enough, I tried simply running the command MSBuild in command prompt and recieved an error as well.
I then set C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Msbuild\Current\Bin in my PATH environment variable.
The command works now in command prompt and PowerShell, but installing dependencies with yarn does not.

So basically +1. Looking forward to hearing ideas to fix this.

EDIT:
According to this StackOverflow answer running yarn with Node v14 installed works. I tried switching to v14.21.3 with nvm and it indeed worked fine.

it doesn't worked for me with node 14
i have the path set correctly

npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global

Try npm config ls -l | grep msvs to see if npm supports that setting.

Also, try npm config list to see npm's current settings.

VS2022 support was added in v8.4.0. The version you are using was not supported. Please try with the newer version.

Closing this issue, since the version of node-gyp used doesn't even support VS2022.
