10+ Hours Trying to Install Web3

[ghost]

_Been troubleshooting this for ~10 hours now :(.

Anyone have an idea why I may be receiving this error?

I reset the environment variable to no available.

Any help would be much appreciated_

You can try this "Run as admin in your Powershell or Node.js CMD

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
after the installation is complete

npm install [email protected] (or any beta version you like up to 36 if i'm not mistaken)

If you still can't try to clean your package files and everything delete away the word web3 from the package and try installing it again or try the web3 0.2 version it works fine normally for a lot of people with 1.x.x error, but 1.x and 0.2 has different documentation
