I am trying out Yeoman but I keep getting stuck when I run the "yo meanjs" command it asks me a couple of questions and then it says it is running npm install. Give it a couple of minutes and it spits out the below errors.
It all works fine on my own computer but on my work laptop (which I am an admin on) I get all of these errors. Here are the modules and VS (for MSBuild) installed.
Installers
- Visual Studio 2013 Professional
- Python 2.7.10
- Ruby 2.2.3p173
- node version 4.2.1
Modules
- npm version 3.3.8
- yo version 1.4.8
- node-gyp 3.0.3
I have looked about online but most info I can find on similar errors say to try.
npm install --msvs_version=2013
Or to set the python path which makes no difference.

Okay so here is a bit of an update
The log messages I included were not complete and had some other errors where it would show a path to MSBuild. It looks like it was using the wrong path so I found the correct path and used the following command.
set VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120
It was trying to access C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110
Might help someone but I still get the other errors.
It seems like grunt-node-inspector@~0.2.0 doesn't like compiling with node-gyp. I found the package.json file for the meanjs generator and was able to update this to grunt-node-inspector@* now it completes correctly! After some wrangling with mongodb I now have it kind of working.
Tried the sub-generator for crud modules which doesn't seem to work but I think I will need to downgrade as I don't think the generator is up to date.
Rémi Becheras has put this as a possible duplicate of NPM Install Error - Node-Pre-Gyp
I did look though google for all answers I could find, including this one. However the lack of context in the original post led me to post my own question.
For example in the end the problem I had was that Yeoman was asking for version of NodeInspector that node-gyp can't (for some reason) compile.
