Hey @rwfresh here is an old forum post that solves the problem,
You can try installing this as an administrator:
I have tested this yesterday with the same configuration as yours and it worked.
Best,
Martin

I had a similar error under macOS which I solved by running it this way:
sudo npm install -g aeproject --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Hey,
Make sure that you have already launched a Linux instance with a public DNS name that is reachable from the Internet and to which you are able to connect using SSH
Hi Martin, thanks for the info. windows-build-tools Already installed without issue. Also have Visual Studio 2017 installed. Just tried again with admin rights cmd shell. Same error.
@Enokela Is your error the same as the one that @rwfresh has reported? What OS you are using, node version, and python?
Best,
Martin
@rwfresh Have you checked the article I have posted? I will try to reproduce the issue. The issue is actually with the argon library which is a dependency in aeproject, from another library… Maybe you can try with python version 2.7, it worked from some community members.
Best,
Martin
Using python 2.7.16 and node.js 10.16.3 windows 10 OS
Windows 10 Pro or Home, this also makes the difference?
windows 10 Enterprise, i would add some screen shots and the log it developed when i tried the “npm i -g forgae” command

Hi, @Enokela.
I just test on my system. win 10 pro, node v11.12.0, Python 2.7.14.
edit path in system environment variables -> path -> edit and change “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727” to “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319”.
then type in ‘command prompt’ : “SET VCTargetsPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140”. and you should be able to install aeproject globally.

i saw Docker on your environment do i install that too?
yes, you should install docker too https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ or you wont be able to start the ‘node’
@Enokela
just uninstall current docker and install it again from https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install (14.10.2019)
PS: do not click on checkbox for “windows images” or something like this
then everything should be work
Note: VirtualBox will no longer work.
@Enokela docker is needed for running the node and the compiler once you install the aeproject, but it shouldn’t be a problem for just installing it.

Hi Martin, yes I did check this as soon as you posted it. The solution for the person that was having the same issue was to install VS 2017 which I already have installed. I also have VS 2019 installed. Could be some conflict? Not sure what. I will try downgrading to python 2.7 from 3.7 as was also mentioned. I will report back here. Thanks for all your help!
Downgrading to python 2.7(16) worked! Thanks @MartinG, looking forward to getting something going!
