Errors when doing npm install with Roots Sage (Wordpress starter theme)

[coffeeneed]

Hi. Been strugling with this a couple of hourse. Reinstalling everything, Visual Studio and what'not, but nothing seems to fix this error. Anyone got an ideas on how to fix this? I really need a fix as I just don't know what to do 🎱

This is now fixed. I didn't only uninstall node from "Remove Programs", but also deleted all the leftover folder, also in the appdata folder. Reinstalled node-v0.12.7-x64.msi and everything seem to work. Case closed :)

[coffeeneed]

Well. This problem is, unfortunately, back again :( I tried removed the node_modules folder and tried again. Problem persists. Have tried to install the Windows SDK 7.1 too and set the path to setenv.cmd (like mentioned all over the net, by other people experiencing this problem).

[coffeeneed]

Update: Looks like I am one step further regarding this issue. Managed to get try and run "npm install" (still using Wordpress Roots Sage) through call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64. It says folder structure is too long. I've experienced the same when trying to manually delete node_module folder in Windows. That won't work because of the folder path size (I've done rm -rf node-modules from Git Bash instead). However, if this is a deeper problem regarding path sizes, I'm not very optimistic.

Here's an updated log from npm install:

I can't guarantee that it works but try subst z: \xampp\htdocs\trends\wp-content\themes\trends as administrator and then run npm install from z:\.

Thanks, that might have done something good, actually :) Interesting. However, I get another error now. Do you have more clues, Sir?

Make sure you have Visual Studio 2013 installed. (2012 may also be alright for node.js v0.12.)

If you still get the error, try set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013 before you run node-gyp.

What worked :) Hurray! Thanks. Help appreciated.
