Question

Enviromnent is :

Window server 2008 R2 Standard Service Pack1 Build 7601 (64bits) Node js: v.0.10.25 (64 bits) npm: 1.3.24

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express. I have been trying to build a module for days now ... Followed the wiki on https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp/wiki/Visual-Studio-2010-Setup

I have also have tried the visual studio 2010 express + win sdk = cannot open input file 'kernel32.lib'. I can produce a module, but then when I try to use it I get
node server.js module.js:356 Module._extensions[extension](this, filename); Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I am using node v0.10.25 (64bit version)

Any help really welcome.

I gave up and used Visual Studio 2012. Everything is ok now.

I have installed both VS 2010 and VS2012, do yo uninstalled you VS2010? and do you installed other dependency? Thanks – yuyue007 Apr 24 '14 at 08:35
Just removed VS2010, no other dependency, as I recall – Stéphane Gerber Apr 24 '14 at 14:47
