I have installed windows-build-tools on my Windows 10 PC via following command:

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

Since it requires administrative rights, I had to start the console as administrator. However, now, the Python and Visual C++ files installed with windows-build-tools are all saved on the user path of the administative user, and they are not available to all the other users on the same PC.

How can I make the files installed with windows-build-tools accessible to all users?

  • Yes to the first, although it is similarly unanswered, which is really helpful. The second seems completely unrelated – Craig Brett May 04 '18 at 14:35
