NPM modules compiling issues in Windows (Visual Studio 2015)

Question

I want to install mean-cli NPM module in order to work with mean.io stack. The problem I have is with compiling some C files while installing mean-cli.

I entered npm install -g --msvs_version=2013 mean-cli as Administrator in windows powershell. Also I have installed VS 2015 community edition and I have set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2013 in my user environment variables.

System :

Windows 7.1 64bit

Error :

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(57,5): error MSB8020: The build t
ools for v120 (Platform Toolset = 'v120') cannot be found. To build using the v120 build tools, please install v120 bui
ld tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-cli
ck the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

What is the problem?

This seems like it might be more of an [tag:msbuild] problem than a c++ one, especially since the output appears to be grumbling about not finding the right version of the Microsoft build tools, more than throwing any specific C or C++ related errors. — jaggedSpire, Sep 24 '15 at 18:59
I was suggesting possibly better tags for your question. perhaps [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32556295/npm-install-error-the-build-tools-for-v120-platform-toolset-v120-cannot) is what you're looking for? Or [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20886391/vs-2012-project-failed-to-build-because-of-missing-toolset)? — jaggedSpire, Sep 24 '15 at 19:04
