Error compiling bcrypt - node.js
I'm trying to install bycrpt via npm install using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
This is my install log:

I've already installed Python < v2.7 and .NET Framework SDK 2.0.
I also downloaded a package called win7sdkx64.exe which was what i think the sdk for Visual Studio. I liked all of the dependencies in my Path as following:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\nodejs\;E:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\ruby-1.9.2\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\git\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\git\cmd;E:\Program Files (x86)\Heroku\bin;C:\mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.2.2\bin;E:\xampp\mysql\bin;E:\xampp\apache\bin;E:\Python27;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Performance Toolkit\;E:\Program Files (x86)\openssl-0.9.8k_X64\bin
but i still get these errors. What can i try next? Install Visual Studio completly?
Answer
Ditch the bcrypt module and use a native JavaScript library instead. bcrypt-nodejs requires no compilation and provides almost the same functionality as the compiled bcrypt.
