don’t what exactly make this problem go away

but I check issue page and there some suggest

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

after about 40 min of installation, python installed and Visual C++ Build Environment installed but installation process still continued. At some point, I got confused so I quite the process. but after that when I install bcrypt it gives 2 npm err but all functionalities working just fine.

Maybe Python or Visual C++ build environment did the magic

it doesn’t work. ERR persists

How about using bcrypt-nodejs? They say it’s not as painful to install as bcrypt on Windows.
