Urgent! Cannot install on Windows 8.1 x64 (with x64 node, x64 Microsoft Visual C++ 2012, x64 java)

[thetiby]

I have no idea why this is happening, and looking at previously closed issues, I have all requirements in place:

I tried running npm install --msvs_version=2012 java and I have this same error:

C:\Users\Tiberiu>npm install --msvs_version=2012 java
-
> java@0.4.4 install C:\Users\Tiberiu\node_modules\java
> node-gyp rebuild

Please help!

You might want to look at this thread nodejs/node-gyp#277

@joeferner Thank you!
I look at that thread before but failed to notice the c:\Python27\python.exe in the %PYTHON% var - as you saw in my ss, I had only the python folder in this variable. (c:\Python27\)

The install ran successfully after I made that change!
