node gyp msbuild misssing registry warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSDKDir variable from the registry. TargetFrameworkVersion or PlatformToolset may be set to an invalid version number

msbuild node gyp

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64

Still having to do this. Thanks for posting. How to make this change permanent? I have to do this every time. Thanks again

Update: I use cmder so I added the appropriate line from above to the end of my cmder/vendor/init.bat file followed by a cls just to put the cursor at the top. Now it happens automatically when I open my console.

I was lucky to find this bug solution here, i just experience this problem and thankfully this worked:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x86

This did not:
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\Setenv.cmd" /Release /x64

GIANT Thanks! You've finished my ~6 hrs googling spree. I wish found solutions like this instantly :)

I am working on Windows 8 and having same issue. Tried installing Windows SDK. Checked the folder path as mentioned above but it does not have setenv.cmd file at all. Please suggest

SDK which I downloaded and installed is:
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-sdk
