npm fails when installing new packages about angular-webpack-starter HOT 5 CLOSED

Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

You nee to install python. See https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation

from angular-webpack-starter.

Hi @DzmitryShylovich, I tried that before and it got worse :-(
I tried once more following the link you mentioned, and the problem now is:

@felipedrumond I just tested on VM, doing this like on the link @DzmitryShylovich gave should solve the issue:

Option 1: Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).

After that, then next time your run npm install, it should download the needed dependencies and be fine after that. Let me know if that doesn't solve it and I'll re-open.

Hi @qdouble, it still throw errors. My environment is a VM with W10 Enteprise, VS 2015, Node 6.2.1.

Have you tried to the do the retarget solution thing? I'm also demoed it using Windows 10 on VM (Parallels Desktop, if that makes any difference), and the npm install --global --production windows-build-tools and then running npm i again alone fixed it for me. You could also try to see if you can download and install the Windows SDK version it's stating in the error message.
