How to "npm install" bcrypt on Windows 7
I've installed node.js v6.9.1 together with npm version 4.1.2 and I've already used this combination for some projects
Now I wanted to use the bcrypt npm package in my project, but the installation fails miserably
npm install bcrypt --save
I've also tried to run this command with admin priviledges, to no avail
This is the error I get

The problem seems to be that npm cannot find pre-built binaries so it tries to compile the sources using python (which I don't seem to have).
Do I need to install python for this? If yes, can you point me in the right direction? Is it true that there is no pre-built version of bcrypt?
EDIT: After installing Python 2.7 the error changes... seems like it tries to use MSBuild to compile some C++ code.

Answer
I would suggest you use bcrypt-nodejs:
It provides almost the same functionality with easy usage.
Original answer:
Can you try the following:
- Install Python (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/)
- Install Visual Studio 2012/13 Express (or other)
- Install Windows SDK (for Windows 7 / 8)
- Install Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.1g
- Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS2012" as Administrator and test install
Then:
npm install node-gyp -gnpm install bcrypt -g
