Sorry for the late response. I don't have a Windows setup so it's impossible for me to test things on Windows. I may try to set up a VM at some point, but not in the near future.

Same problem
I reinstalled all the node.js and Atom with latest version, but doesn't help at all.

No matter if you have Windows setup or not, would you have at least any clue where the problem could be, please?

The issue is in using node-gyp, it is a very broken build system except if using linux or mac, it needs to be replaced with an actually decent build system.
