Does not complete installation

Hi,

I'm trying to get native packages running since two weeks now.. without success.

System: Win7 x64

I definitely have an internet connection as all my firewalls are down.

Launched installers, now waiting for them to finish.
This will likely take some time - please be patient!

Status from the installers:

Lots of reports of errors regarding installations hanging, anything being done ?

[glaucia86]

Anybody here already saw how to deal with this issue?

[jacobq]

See also #123

[glaucia86]

@jacobq this link do not talk about the solution... it would be this one here: #116

[jacobq]

@glaucia86 I just mentioned the other issue because this one may be a duplicate.

[refack]

Hello all,

Latest Node 10 & 11 have a new stage in their installer that installs all prerequisites for native-addon development.
Admittedly it's not 100% bug free, but in-the-field testing is the best way to fix that, so your feedback is welcome.
Latest 10 - https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v10.x/
Latest 11 - https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-v11.x/
_{and version 12 nightlies - https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/}

[jacobq]

Hi @refack, could you please explain how that is related to this issue? Are you saying that they install the MS build tools automatically, that they no longer require them, or something else? Are you referring to nodejs/node#22645? In that case, I think that doesn't affect nvm-windows users since it requires opting in.

[glaucia86]

@refack I noticed that I install in my machine Node.js 10 and when I tried to install node-gyp and windows build tools I had some issues.. If you want to I can relate for you here.
Should I do make a downgrade of my actual version (Node.js -> 10) to Node.js 8.x?

[glaucia86]

@jacobq the version 5 of windows build tools are bugged. Yesterday I used the version 4 and installed it perfectly.

[refack]

Hi @refack, could you please explain how that is related to this issue? Are you saying that they install the MS build tools automatically, that they no longer require them, or something else?

I admit it doesn't relate directly to this issue, but IMHO it relates to the end goal of installing Windows build tools.

Are you referring to nodejs/node#22645? In that case, I think that doesn't affect nvm-windows users since it requires opting in.

You are right, ATM it's only available for users who choose to install with the .msi installer. We are considering deploying the boxstarter script via the zip, so other users could benefit from it as well.

Edit: opened nodejs/node#24233

[refack]

@refack I noticed that I install in my machine Node.js 10 and when I tried to install node-gyp and windows build tools I had some issues.. If you want to I can relate for you here.

@glaucia86 I would appreciate if you would open an issue in nodejs/node
