Node npm error on windows looking for tools version


Im trying to use node and when i go to install the npm packages via 'npm install package.json'
I am currently using windows 8.1 as my os. It began when I started using redis but im not sure if it is because of redis. The error I get is

MSBUILD : error MSB4132: The tools version "2.0" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "4.0".

The full console print out is here
