Node packages not building on Windows 8.1 - Missin

问题:

NPM packages are not building on Windows 8.1 - failing with following error,

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

I have tried the following,

• Setting an evironment variable VCTargetsPath to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\ (The error changes accordingly but there is no Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props with the 2012 build tools).
• Installing a VisualStudio 2010 environment (uninstalled then installed in the correct order) according to this answer
• Completely removed VisualStudio 2010 and tried a VisualStudio 2012 instead, which should work according to the Node-gyp wiki
• Added registry keys according to this answer
• Tried using the Windows 7.1 SDK command prompt according to this answer
• Tried setting VisualStudioVersion before running npm according to this answer
• Tried passing --msvs_version=2012 to npm according to this answer

None of the above have worked.

I've spent ages on this already. Does anyone have a definite answer that works?

回答1:

The quick fix for me was this:

set VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120
npm install

Finally Microsoft is providing much better solution to VS.

I just wanted to update this question with the latest answer. You now do not need to install Visual Studio.

Source: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/629#issuecomment-153196245

Instructions below in case the source goes down.

1. Install VC++ Build Tools Technical Preview using the Default Install option.

   [Windows 7 only] requires .NET Framework 4.5.1

2. Install Python 2.7, and add it to your PATH: npm config set python python2.7

3. Launch cmd and run: npm config set msvs_version 2015 --global (this is instead of lnpm install [package name] --msvs_version=2015l every time.)

So it is 2.47am - figured it out.

Although the node-gyp site seems to suggest using Visual Studio 2010 or 2012, instead for Windows 8.1, install Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop as discussed in this issue.

Setting the following fixed the problem for me

/property:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120

As mentioned on this forum

A quick note for people who installed:

1. Visual Studio 2012 (Express)

2. MSBuild 2012

with the issue of:

1. MSBuild loads Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props

2. MSBuild cannot load Microsoft.Cpp.props

The solution is here: set parameter of MSBuild: /property:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110"

This is the same issue as described here

NPM native builds with only Visual Studio 2013 installed

If you have a version of VS2013 installed set this environment variable before running the npm command:

set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013

or for VS2012

set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2012

Just in case people encounter this issue again, the issue got resolved in my case when I did a

npm install -g --production windows-build-tools
