node.js - Troubles with NPM and node-gyp in Windows

Question

I have some troubles with npm packages on my Windows workstation... I have a set of NPM dependencies in my package.json file:

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx": "^6.2.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.1.18",
    "babel-preset-react": "^6.1.18",
    "grunt": "^0.4.5",
    "grunt-babel": "^6.0.0",
    "grunt-contrib-connect": "^0.11.2",
    "grunt-contrib-jasmine": "^0.9.2",
    "grunt-contrib-sass": "^0.9.2",
    "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1",
    "grunt-exec": "^0.4.6",
    "grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs": "^0.2.3",
    "karma-chrome-launcher": "^0.2.2",
    "karma-firefox-launcher": "^0.1.7",
    "karma-requirejs": "^0.2.2",
    "requirejs": "^2.1.22",
    "grunt-contrib-jshint": "^0.11.3",
    "grunt-karma": "^0.12.1",
    "karma": "^0.13.15",
    "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.6",
    "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^0.2.1"
  }

And when I trying to run npm install I get the strange error related to node-gyp package and something like msbuild.exe.

Here is the error:

c:Usersdmytro.medvidsitesevolution

Can someone help to figure out with it issue? I'm not experienced windows user, but at the moment I should work with Windows :(

UPDATED: Here is the errors log which I update every time with new NPM errors.

System details: Windows 7 Enterprice 64-bit operating system

Node version: v5.1.0

NPM version: v3.3.12

Python Version: v2.7.1

Also I installed Microsoft Visual C++ build tools (provided in answer below). Version 14.0

Answer 1

Write those code in admin command prompt:

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

And then hit enter.
