How to install win32ole for nodejs (i.e. making node-gyp work properly)

问题

Sorry, I'm a newbie of nodejs. I'd like to try the package win32ole in nodejs under Windows7, but when I run the installation command npm install win32ole in a command prompt window opened as administrator, many errors pop up.

My configuration is:

Windows 7 64 bit (version 6.1.7601)
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop - ENU (imho having to install 20GB of software to try to make node-gyp work is like a certification of failure for a certain IT model)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6
both Python 2.7.9 and 3.4.3 installed, but I made python command point to 2.7.9
nodejs version 4.2.1
npm version 2.14.7
node-gyp 3.0.3
PYTHON environment variable set to C:\Python27\python.exe
told to node-gyp where to find Python with command node-gyp --python C:\Python27\
told to npm where to find Python with command npm config set python C:\Python27\python.exe

Here's the console output:

C:\Windows\system32
>npm install win32ole

Any clue on what I'm doing wrong?

FOLLOW UP

I guess there is nothing I'm doing wrong, the package node-gyp under Windows, as pointed out in a comment, has some issues: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629

回答1:

First of all you have a warning due to the node version

npm WARN engine win32ole@0.1.3: wanted: {"node":">= 0.8.18 && < 0.9.0"} (current: {"node":"4.2.1","npm":"2.14.7"})

It should be lower than 0.9.0

Have you installed node-gyp? I'm seeing a lot of error complaining it. If not you can install it with this command

npm install -g node-gyp

回答2:

It's not possible with up to date node.js versions.

Use node winax
